Replacing Focus, a strongly visual metaphor with Intention, a relational polyseme. Intention is "the aim that guides an action", "A stretching or bending of the mind toward an object; closeness of application; fixedness of attention; earnestness". But also (in Logic) "any mental apprehension of an object". In Phenomenology it becomes: the way in which something is given to us.
This seems more fruitfull and more apt to the intentions of about::power then the visual, removed-from-touch word focus.
