Note the same problem exists under GUIs, where Emacs does not offer
a way to test whether a given ELisp event can be generated by your input
devices.

So, the best you can do is to use heuristics about what you think is
"usually possible" and "usually impossible".  I don't know of any ELisp
package offering such a functionality yet.
