no, because in many cases one writes files directly via the lua io 
library; i remember that we considered a callback but decided that it 
would become too messy; there is in tex detailed control over the kin 
dof file that is read (tex files vs font files for instance) but writing 
can be anything.

actually, since you already do something with the input, i suppose that 
you could easilly do it there: you can check if an aux file is opened 
(look at suffix), then set some flag, and treat its data in a special way
