I had never actually tried preload. ha. The UI itself won't help, but your suggestion sure does! I tracked down the mel for this ui and found that it used the command: selLoadSettings. Now this is the command I needed!
If I run selLoadSettings in the BeforeLoadReference callback, I can basically get a list of all the reference nodes that are 'about to be' loaded, store them, and tell them not to load. Thanks for your suggestion. You totally nudged me in the right direction.
