You can't determine what an arbitrary destination is. This is why x86 has terrible problems with gadgets made out of unintentional instructions produced by jumping in to the middle of intentional ones.
The solution to this problem is control flow integrity instructions such as Intel CET or ARM BTI. I've not seen a similar proposal for POWER which surprises me.
