TBH, I didn't look into the plugin API since a long time. Today I did :)

It allows you to set a callback function that is called for each enqueued URL.
And there is an API that allows you to reject, accept or change the URL.
I currently don't have a concrete use-case, but I am happy to share some simple 
code for a plugin.

[rewrite_url.c](/uploads/77fd01e581e52b7b393c9f9e39a13bb3/rewrite_url.c)
[Makefile](/uploads/9c006b405cbffd0e8357685f105c0bcc/Makefile)

On Debian, you can install the package `wget2-dev` first. Or you build wget2 
from source and install it with `sudo make install`.

Then put the two files above into an own directory and do `make` to build the 
plugin (rewrite_url.so).

Now you can use it with `wget2 --content-on-error --local-plugin=rewrite_url.so 
--progress=none example.com`.

Instead of rewriting the URL, you can simply reject it by calling 
`wget_intercept_action_reject(action)`.

Here are the online docs:

These are first steps, let me know your feedback.
