What do you mean when you say "custom validation key"? I am thinking about going with action chaining to solve this particular one. Like have every form call an action e.g. Dispatch and then call different actions to go with the page a user just came from e.g. if a user came from clienta.jsp, a form submit calls Dispatch.do which forwards to an action like clientaValidation.do which runs the validations and then calls the next forward.
Terrible design but this is in response to a change in our codebase which kind of messed things up a bit.

Override the form's validate() and create a key. Then you should modify your validation.xml to run validations just for that step.
