How to configure default texting number?

I have a Moto X, and using google now, when I say "sent text to nancy jones", I'm then prompted with a home, work, or mobile phone number, none of which are numbers I want to send the text to. Normally I send texts using Hangouts to nancyxxxx@gmail.com.

Is it possible to configure the phone so I can say "send text to nancy jones", and it defaults to Hangouts and nancyxxxx@gmail.com? Then being able to speak the message would be great too, being completely hands free.

-Thanks
 
Despite being used by the same app now, a Hangout message is not a text, and you can't trigger it to send one by initiating a new text in the system. Same way you can't select a Hangout recipient for any other system event that tries to send a text message.

I don't think there's any way to trigger a new Hangout message using your voice right now.
