You're looking for the SUBMIT_EXPRS configuration
setting. This specifies the names of attributes to add to each job submitted
to the pool. I use it for a RemoteCpuUtilizationPercent attribute. In the
/etc/condor/config.d/701cpupercent:

RemoteCpuUtilizationPercent = blah blah blah
SUBMIT_EXPRS = $(SUBMIT_EXPRS) RemoteCpuUtilizationPercent

As a result, each job gets this attribute. The same
would go for defining the hook for every job.

You'd probably want to figure out an _expression_ with
an ifThenElse(), however, since if a submitter is using a different hook
prefix you wouldn't necessarily want to override it. There may be a better
approach for what you're doing than using a hook.
