Albert,

It seems the easiest thing to do would be to have a version of the program
that simply returns with LR off. Put it in a special library that you put
at the top of the library list when you need it.

That won't work. Triggers added with *LIBL get the library resolved at the time the trigger is added -- not when the file is opened.

This is intentional so that rogue users can't slip a placebo trigger into their library list to circumvent intended actions. It has been discussed in these forums in the past.
