This isn't currently supported in the remap-keys feature. It shouldn't be too hard to implement, but does require something similar to the keymap handling behavior to be added. Unfortunately, I don't think the existing keymap handling could be directly applied as remap-keys is more of a translation of one key sequence to another - but, maybe there's a clever way to reuse the existing code.
