If I could branch within the chain, that would make this easy, but it would be easier if I could pick a search or use a calculated constant...
Is there a way to do this currently? (or could it be added?)
Edit: I think I figured out how to do it (untested yet) by just prefixing the chain with a search that will come up empty on the wrong device and then duplicating the chain for each device. But it would be more elegant if I could use a calculated value.

I confess I don't fully understand what you want to do, but it seems that using a template search might do the trick. See the description of template searches in
