Comments.Text: There is an extension that has a slightly different scope but will allow you (among other features) to block regular CiviCRM-E-Mails for particular events: https://docs.civicrm.org/eventmessages/en/latest/
  
  A bit of a long shot but maybe you could (mis-)use the extension for your purpose?! In any case, test well before using ;)
