Maybe try describing why you want to add this hook?
Which purpose does it have?
Maybe there is another way to get what you want.

There may be some ways using new ttys and such to be able to read from
stdin again. Maybe even use tools such as xmessage or gui inputs.

But this should be a personal hack only then - because I don't know
exactly those hooks are run. So tell more about the "why" and maybe
you'll get much feedback about the "how" to do it.
