Default Markerlights?

I doubt this will be possible but someone here might know for sure - Is it possible to have a unit only fire when another unit has its target targeted? For example, if a scout unit got close to another unit and lit it with a laser, would it then be possible to have another unit fire a weapon which could only be fired if its target was lit by laser? That might not make very much sense so I'll also post what I have been asked to do :

marker light: once a unit is marked they appear hued red to the tau player for 1min, in this time any tanks, broadsides or aircraft will never miss when attacking the unit and the marked unit will take extra damage from tau tanks, aircraft and broadsides

- seeker missles: can be upgraded so all devilfish carry 1 seeker missle ontop of their normal arrsenal for an additional $600 when a pathfinder marks a unit simply click the seeker missle button and it will automaticly track down and damage the marked unit

The only way I can think of to do it is to use the MD 'laser-lock' (again ) but the projectile attaches a sticky thing to the targeted unit which can then be targeted by your own units (eg. the seeker missile referred to above would fire a weapon by a command button which had something like REQUIRE_ALLY_TARGET set)

PS. Sorry about my earlier post about Tomahawk Remote Control but this is what I thought that would be :S I see what is meant by 'please search' now
