(This is 'QMTest/targets' with a lowercase 't'. At least on
 platforms where it matters.)

I'm not sure I understand the question. Targets are a means to
run tests in parallel. However, when assigning multiple hosts
to targets, not all hosts may be suitably equipped to run all
test instances, so the test-specific 'taret_group' attribute
contains a pattern against which indidual targets are matched.

May be you are trying to use targets for something else, such
as run on multiple platforms ?
