The aunt who's targeted (5)
I believe the answer is:
sally
'the aunt' is the definition.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sally that I've seen before include "A sortie or witty remark" , "Go out" , "one in 3 the 12 30 [DROP the DEAD DONKEY]" , "trip" , "Retort - Gracie Fields song" .)
