As T is easily remappable for tool-changers, this should be pretty
straightforward.
O100 IF [<_T_number> EQ 103]
S1000 $3
O100 ENDIF
As a very simplistic example.
Note that the converse (hard-coding T to perform spindle changes)
would almost certainly break existing configs, which is one reason not
to do it.
Also, on the machines you are describing the spindles act a lot more
like tools than, for example, on a counterspindle lathe.
Here is a good example of such a thing, including threading on the
second spindle:
