Why not use conversion specifiers while calling external action? There are
x and y, so if x and y belongs to the area of interest 1 you do one thing
otherwise do another one?
%K X coordinates of motion center %L Y coordinates of motion center

That probably could work and you can combine that with,
%D changed pixels
to do your own threshold calculation.
However now you brought the motion detection outside of motion and are
not using its major strength.
