Instead of adding yet another plugin type (I think there are too many  
as it is), shouldn't this be handled by an overridden plugin of one  
of the standard types, like maybe an overridden properties plugin?

I think this is a very narrowly focused functionality that only very  
few users may ever need. Providing a more specialized "standard"  
plugin for a specific customer with that need is what I would do  
instead.
