I haven't actually done this, but I've thought about it when there might
be a need to manually manipulate a maildrop file.
You could set up an early directory (before most other directors) which
would look like
deferred_users:
driver = aliasefile
no_more
file = /path/to/deferred_aliases
search_type = lsearch
And then have the deffered_aliases be something like
customer001: :defer: Deferred while working with mailbox
etc.
Most of the time that aliases file would be empty, but a username can be
added just before manipulating a mailbox and then removed right
afterwards.
Please note: I have NOT tested this. Nor have I checked the specs on the
components of this. This may have many many errors in it. It may even be
the wrong approach.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
