[Remind-Fans] Letting an OMIT drive the SKIP/BEFORE/AFTER?

I've got a monthly event on the calendar,
REM 1 Sat MSG Breakfast with AJ
Sometimes it got adjusted back a week if something came up, so I
started with
PUSH
CLEAR
OMIT Jun 4 2022 \
MSG Room already booked, meet with AJ next week
REM 1 Sat OMIT Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri AFTER \
MSG Breakfast with AJ
POP
and this worked quiet well.
However, recently they opted to cancel or shift it *forward* a week
instead. In those occasions, it would be nice to have the deflecting
SKIP/BEFORE/AFTER information associated with the OMIT instead, so
I hoped I could do something like this (concocted) syntax
PUSH
CLEAR
OMIT Jun 4 2022 AFTER \
MSG Room already booked, meet with AJ next week
OMIT Jan 7 2023 BEFORE \
MSG Room already booked, met with AJ last week
OMIT Jul 1 2023 SKIP \
MSG Scheduling conflict, not meeting with AJ
REM 1 Sat OMIT Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri \
MSG Breakfast with AJ
POP
Is there some way to let information in the OMIT drive the
SKIP/BEFORE/AFTER?
I get that it's possible to have two conflicting OMITs like
OMIT Jul 1 2023 SKIP MSG nah
OMIT Jul 1 2023 AFTER MSG later
but I'm willing to wear the "do stupid stuff, get stupid results"
cape if that happens, whatever the results are (I imagine the easiest
would be to use either the first/last one processed).
