header_checks: FILTER and IGNORE simultaneously?

I like to use a rule in header_checks to trigger some policy based
routing while deleting the header field. However

/some pattern/ FILTER smtp:[some.next.hop]
/some pattern/ IGNORE

does not work, because FILTER has the side effect to skip the current
input line and continue with the next line.

I know the desired behaviour can be achived when the filter trigger
is in the "Return-Path:" header, or some other header which is rewritten
by the cleanup daemon anyway. But is there a more generic approach?
