You can use address_data for this:
special_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
allow_filter
address_data = \
${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/export/mail/special_aliases}}
data = ${if eq {:filter:}{${substr_0_8:${address_data}}} \
{${readfile{${substr_8:${address_data}}}}} \
{${address_data}}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
user = mail
