You can't do this directly, but see below...

This would be my first suggestion... It gives you the functional
control for any part of your site...

Yes, this would be my second suggestion. Create a page called
action.library.chapters.missing and then when you go to
library.chapters.bookname1.chapter2 you will get the content of that
page. You can use {p3} and {p4} in that page to access the reference
you are looking for.

A database plugin was recently developed by DrunkenMonk. See

Another option is to use conditionals in headers and footers. [if
equal {p4} chapters]show this content... [if][if equal {p4}
bookname]show something different[if], etc...
