Russell, Are you trying to execute the code in onTrigger() only if a dynamic property has been modified? If so you could have a boolean member variable "shouldRun" that gets set to true in onPropertyModified() and checked/reset in onTrigger(). The scripting components do something similar, to indicate whether the script needs to be reloaded or not.
Apologies if I'm not understanding correctly, could you share your code as a Gist or something like that?
