How can I trigger an external action from within the driver control file?

Hello,
 
I want to trigger an action from within the driver control files that is not an standard output (throttle/steering/clutch etc). Basically I want to do some minimaneuvers to achieve a certain vehicle state, then activate a parking lock torque in the gearbox, then deactivate it and continue the simulation.
 
Of course I could use some STEP(time) functions in the torque expression to activate the torque at the right moment, but that solution wouldn't be general for different driver control files . Any ideas on how to trigger such an action from within the driver control file?
 
Thanks
/Oskar
