# Named Target **Domain:** Document Transformation / Addressability **Doc Type:** Canonical Concept Node **Maturity:** Developing **Related:** [[wiki/Executable Markdown|Executable Markdown]], [[wiki/Structure|Structure]], [[wiki/Permissioned Capability|Permissioned Capability]] --- ## Definition **A named target is an addressable destination for generated or transformed content.** It may refer to a document block, header, sidebar, panel, variable, file, template slot, or authorized account-level store. ## XDO Context XDO's target model allows a transformation to say where its result belongs without hard-coding one renderer or layout. Target resolution must remain scoped, permissioned, and explicit so a document cannot overwrite arbitrary content merely by naming it. ## Key Insight **Addressability enables composition; scoping prevents composition from becoming uncontrolled mutation.** ## See Also [[wiki/Capability Registry|Capability Registry]], [[wiki/Multi-Pass Processing|Multi-Pass Processing]], [[wiki/Host Adapter|Host Adapter]], [[wiki/Technical Terms|Technical Terms]]
