AFAIK you can't change automatic styles but you can use a Lua filter to
replace Pandoc's Strong elements with Span elements with a custom named
style.

``````lua
function Strong (elem)
  return pandoc.Span(elem.content, { ['custom-style'] = 'Semibold' })
end
``````

Now define a named character style 'Semibold' in your reference doc and run
pandoc with that reference doc and this filter.
