Does the stronghold's new wording get around wedge? text:

Utaku Plains: Choose your performing personality: Reduce the Force of a target enemy Personality or Follower by your Personality's Personal Honor.

Shiro Daidoji: Even if this card is bowed, bow your performing Personality: Ranged Attack with strength equal to his Force. Gain 2 Honor.

Wedge: Target your Personality: You may not target cards in his unit with actions until after this battle ends. After this battle’s Resolution Segment begins, double his Force and the Force of each Follower in his unit. Destroy him after the battle ends.

Does the stronghold's new wording get around wedge?

Yes.

While it follows the same rules as targeting, choosing a performer is not targeting, so Wedge does not prohibit it.
