I couldn't figure out a way to do this using hooks or existing variables, so I wrote modified versions of org-cycle-internal-local and org-cycle-internal-global, nad changed org-cycle and org-cycle-global to call my modified versions instead of the originals. Now, though, I would like to bind my new functions to the "tab" key. However, I know TAB is quite complicated, and seems to be bound to multiple functions when, for instance, yasnippet is also active. In my minor mode, I would like my new org-cycle-mod to use the exact same keybindings as the original org-cycle does. what is the best way to achieve this? Thank you for your help!
