Will pseudoaligners detect rearrangements based on known transcripts?

I have a question about pseudo aligners. I’m using Kallisto and I was wondering if it would count novel rearrangements of known transcripts. For example, suppose I have the following gene consisting of three exons.

EXON1----EXON2-------------------EXON3

If I include this in the kallisto transcriptome and index it I understand that Kallisto will detect and count the intended transcript such as this…

EXON1-EXON2-EXON3

My question is.... What if there were a transcript like this in which the second exon was missing….

EXON1-EXON3

Would Kallisto detect and include this in the gene counts?

What about if exon 2 and 3 were swapped, like this…

EXON1-EXON3-EXON2
