I'm not sure where you get that impression.  The documentation for
relayhost:

   http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relayhost

Says:

   The next-hop destination of non-local mail; overrides non-local
   domains in recipient addresses.  [...]

If you want more fine-grained control of delivery, you can use the
transport table:
