Can I use tap on a model that also uses model events?

[seabasseee]

I love the automatic model event logging, but occasionally I would love to tap some extra values into the properties column. Is there a way to do that from my controller?

What's the best option otherwise? Temporarily turn off the automatic logging and use activity()->...?
I would have to build my own 'old' and 'attributes' arrays that way though.
I know that there is a tap method on the model itself, but I'm looking for something like $model->tapActivity(...) from my controller.

Thank you!
