How to prevent playing a track?

Hi,

I need the following behaviour: When a track should be played by clicking in the GUI on play, instead of playing the track, another action should be performed. The decision if normal playback is started or another action is performed should be based either on metadata tag values or on item paths.

Can this be done creating a foobar plugin? I think I can use play_callback to detect the play-action, evaluate the criteria and start the other action. But can I also suppress/prevent the real playback of the track this way?

Thanks!
