Select command handler based on where it's triggered from? [message #337039]

Can I assign a different handler to a command, depending on where it was
triggered from (e.g. from a specific toolbar icon vs from a menu item)?

I know how to override handlers when specific parts are in focus:

<handler class="test.FooHandler" commandId="testCommand">
<activeWhen>
<with variable="activePartId">
<equals value="testView"/>
</with>
</activeWhen>
</handler>

...but this approach has some limitations (for example I'd like to
override the org.eclipse.ui.newWizard command when a specific view is in
focus, but the default handler should be used when the command is
triggered via the top-level menu, even if the view is still active).
