Thanks for the clarification. Indeed I can do (define-key
key-translation-map (kbd "<apps>") #'event-apply-hyper-modifier).
However it has the limitations you described, as I cannot use Meta or
other modifiers with it.

Any suggestions on how to support this via lisp with something like
event-apply-hyper-modifier or hiperify (the example in the manual)?
