[yocto] Patching only the target version of a package?

[Michael Habibi]

So let's say my whole bbappend file is only necessary for the target
version. Can I rename the whole thing package-target.bbappend (add the
-target suffix) and it will only append it to the recipe when building the
target? Is "target" the actual suffix or is it a placeholder for something
more specific? I have only seen -native, -cross, and some other ones that
don't seem to apply to this case.
