Parameters:

defaultAny | NoneType, optional

The default value to return if no target(s) corresponding to key could be found.

Returns:

targetTargetParameter | tuple[TargetParameter] | Any

The target, or tuple of targets if key was a ParameterCategory, or default if no target(s) could be obtained from the given key.
