Override or extend default resource delete action [message #331821]

Is there a way to override or extend the default action for deleting a
resource from the Project Explorer?

Basically I want to be able to attempt to delete a file, and in addition
to the confirmation message 'Are you sure you want to delete xxxx?', I
want it to fire up an additional dialog warning the user in the case of
the file being referenced in a GMF diagram - something like 'File xxxx is
referenced in file yyyy. Are you sure you want to delete xxxx?'.

I've tried looking at seeing if this can be done via a resource listener,
but the event reported by IResourceDelta.REMOVED it seems is already too
late, and I don't see a way of intercepting the delete action before the
delete happens.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
-David
