Sure, just make the handler appear earlier in the path, as in if you had a URL

http://someserver.fizz/this/is/some/long/path?withaquery=string

Lets suppose that 'some' is a file and there is an htaccess file (or whatever) 
mapping it to AxKit, then the /long/path part of the path becomes "extra path 
info" and in effect you now have control of the 'mapping' of that part of the 
URL space... Of course you could write a handler of whatever sort you feel 
like that redirects processing in pretty much whatever way you want. 
Personally though I find mod_rewrite to be the easy way to deal with those 
situations, and to be honest its rarely that convenient to use extra path 
info (why not just relegate all parameters to the query string, since thats 
effectively what you have at this point anyhow.). AxKit also has 
'stylechoosers' which can help you out here, so there are a lot of ways to 
skin this cat
