When is a power use declared, and must its target be named before a Cosmic Zap window?
The designer's view is hedged ('should probably') and community posters agree; no formal ruling.

A power use is declared once its targets are named, so targets like the Plague victim or the card being discarded must be set before the zap window. Choices that can change the game state, such as which color Dictator picks, can be declared after it.
