Answer

It is not supported so far.
But you can use following actions as a workaround.
 
  1. Access ONTAP System Manager (new experience) of destination cluster, click STORAGE > Storage VMs.
  2. Click Edit from the action menu next to the SVM name.
  3. Select Limit volume creation to preferred local tiers, and delete all the others aggregates other than the desired ones, then click Save.
  4. In STORAGE > Volumes, click "+ Add" to add new volume in the specified SVM.
 
Then the SnapMirror destination volume will be created on the specific aggregate.
