But the question still remains:

Is it somehow possible to use someting like

{
   "Dhcp4": {
       "hooks-libraries": [
           {
               "library": "/usr/local/lib/libdhcp_flex_option.so",
               "parameters": {
                   "options": [
                       {
                           "code": 67,
                           "add": "ifelse(option[host-
name].exists,concat(option[host-name].text,'.boot'),'')"
                       }
                   ]
               }
           }
       ]
   }
}

with an add: component that uses an option string that has not been
already set in the client request, but only in the server reply.
