Ability to send SNMP trap data to different SNMP hosts

A client/user of our IBM Control Center environment has asked that we send snmp trap data for file alerts to their splunk server for reporting.

What I've noticed is that if we do this, any other alerts with snmp trap selected in actions will also go to their server. There doesn't seem to be any control at the alert/action level about which snmp host you want to deliver the data to.

Scenario:

Client Group: Receives snmp trap data for file alerts.

Support Group: Receives snmp trap data for system alerts.

What is your industry? Financial Markets
How will this idea be used?

We'll be able to provide file alerts to specific snmp hosts, reducing overhead, and controlling who receives what.
