Can shortcut actions be set to target ally npc's?

Question

In the Trials of Mana remake they've added shortcuts for oft-taken actions like using healing items on yourself. Thing is, as far as I can tell, you can only use the shortcut keys for actions taken on yourself (or enemies) but I can't figure out how to set them for actions on allies. Is it possible to assign a shortcut action (like healing or buff) to target a certain ally?

No, you can't do that. You would need to use the radial menu if you want to target other allies.
However some spells, particularly party spells (healing, status cure, etc.) can be upgraded to a "+" version that applies the effect to all party members - at the same cost as the single target variants. So this kind of mitigates the need to target a specific ally with the shortcut anyway.
Alternative you can just switch to the ally you want to apply it to and use the shortcut. Although with the delay in character switching during battle, this isn't going to be any quicker than just using the menu.
