I think that prefixes are probably exactly what you’re looking for.  If you add a prefix and then create a file by the right name it will only load it when it finds the file.  This is a little tricky with the current setup unfortunately, I didn’t get this setup quite the way I wanted to a number of years ago.

If you write a file named “local.local.bro” to your site/ directory, that script will automatically load if it’s found.

Not really.
