Detect Authority and Shatter the Gate

Can Detect Authority at [ani] be used to protect Shatter the Gate? Shatter the Gate is "on" the Baali, but I'm not sure if Detect Authority works for cards on a minion. Detect Authority [TR:C] Cardtype: Reaction Discipline: Animalism/Serpentis/Thaumaturgy Requires an anarch. [ani] Only usable during a action directed at a minion or location you control. The action ends (no cost is paid), unless the acting minion burns 2 blood immediately. [ser] +1 intercept. [tha] Reduce a bleed against you by 2. Shatter the Gate [HttB:C] Cardtype: Action Clan: Baali Burn Option +1 stealth action. Requires an infernal Baali with capacity 9 or more. Put this card on this Baali. A vampire with capacity 6 or more may burn the Edge to burn this card as a action. If this Baali has three Shatter the Gates, burn them all to give each other Methuselah a shattered counter. A Methuselah with any shattered counters burns 3 pool during his or her untap phase.
