I would rate this as a called shot, which means with the new SmartLink II,
you are by far better off calling a shot to a target who has partial cover.

Well, the way I see the vanilla SR II rules is that you get the +4 target
number modifier, and if you miss then you get to apply your damage to the
cover instead of the target. If you hit, then you get to apply the damage to
your target, but you don't get a +1 wound catagory like for an aimed shot,
but neither does the target get the Barrier Rating of the cover in
additional armour.

I would call this the same as 2. Even if you know your target is behind the
wall, or around the corner, you can't really tell all that well where they
are positioned. Even if you have a fairly accurate idea, the bullet will
probably not come out the other side of the cover heading in the same
direction as it went in; it would likely be diverted somewhat due to the
passage through the cover.
