I’m not sure if there is a plugin that lets you do this... I see two
solutions:

1. In your pipeline, check if the cause is an upstream job cause and abort
if not (functionality will be correct, but run the risk of lots of aborted
builds)

2. Write a plugin. Your plugin will need two parts: a JobProperty to mark
jobs as “upstream only” and a QueueItemListener that checks if the queue
schedule request is for a job with the job property and in that case
rejects unless the cause is an upstream job... this is *exactly* what you
want... but more work than #1... i’d say about 40h work if it’s your first
plugin and you know Java as a main development language.
