Usually, I would do this intercept in the action itself, rather than
specializing a method, something like

(let ((answer (call 'foo)))
  (some-action-or-method self answer))

You could also specialize the answer-component* method, and you may be
able to achieve what you want, but you're in nose-dragon area there.

If you can example of what it is you need to do (rather than how you are
trying to do it), i'll try to tell you how we'd do that in UCW :).
