Since downtimes are not explicitly mentioned, I think it's implied in the

"Event handlers [...] are run whenever a host or service state change
occurs."

part of the introduction.

That, I don't know - as I'm sure you already know, the downtime depth
${HOST,SERVICE}DOWNTIME$ is not passed to the event handler, which
otherwise would've been a viable solution to the problem.

It should be possible to do what you want by using, for example, NDO or
livestatus to retrieve more status information about your objects. Or even
parsing status.dat.

This seems like a pretty roundabout way (read: overkill) of accomplishing
what you want, though.
 I'm sure someone else will chime in to suggest a better way if one exists.
