Use piped commands as format strings.  For example:

set attribution='custom_script "%n" "%[%c]" |'

custom_script:
#!/bin/sh
name="$1"
case "$name" in
        *larry*)    custom="Bonk!";;
        *moe*)      custom="Eyepoke!";;
        *curly*)    custom="Noink noink noink!";;
        *)          custom="Hi $name,";;
esac
echo $custom
echo
echo "On $2, you wrote:"


I have not tested any of this.
