It's unclear from where you want to control this one-off behavior alteration. If from the target node, then you want to rely on a custom fact. There are several ways to write a fact whose value you can easily influence at run time, and there are many ways you can condition the declarations in your manifests and the data retrieved from Hiera on the value of a given fact.
