You are not missing anything obvious, you cannot do it. You are not
allowed to modify a transaction in a hook. There should be lots of
flavors of this basic discussion in the archives. It basically comes down
to that the person who does the commit would have an invalid WC after the
commit because their WC would not contain the additional info, and update
would not know they did not have it.
