If you want it work exactly this way, use skin layers - by default, 
there are View, Print and CSS skin. You can add your own, the tricky 
part of it was discussed on this list about a month ago.

But maybe a better solution would be to define additional action on 
portal type, with a condition, and give it a priority lower then 1.0, so 
that it is checked and possibly called before the default View action.
