If I've understood your question correctly this may assist.
To my knowledge there's no way to trap the Add FX browser action in Reaper. However you could do it by generating keystrokes using an AutoHotKey script that will only work if Reaper is running & focused.
This is a PC solution, not sure if AHK exists for Mac.
First, assign the action to a keyboard shortcut: "Track: View FX chain for current/last touched track". In this example I've used CTRL-F but it could be whatever you want (update in the script below obviously).
Install AutoHotKey. Create new text file & add text below. In this example I've used Numpad 4 but of course you can change to whatever you'd like (search for key references on the google).
#IfWinActive ahk_exe reaper.exe ; If Reaper is active...
$numpad4::Send {ctrldown}f{ctrlup}{a} ; If numpad 4 pressed, generate CTRL-F followed by A
#IfWinActive
Save this as 'whatever filename you like.ahk'
Double click to run, add shortcut to your startup folder.
That's it. Of course you can create other actions involving multiple keypresses as desired.
Please feel free to share improvements/customizations.

The built-in FX chain browser in REAPER does not have the hierarchical structure of the file browser. With my mouse I currently use right-click on the track FX button to quickly access my FX chains, but I would like to be able to do this from keyboard and also to combine into other custom actions (e.g. add a track from template and pop-up FX chain browser with one button). It puzzles me that this seems like a really basic command (in the FX chain window the menu option has *two* different keyboard shortcuts - SHIFT-INSERT and SHIFT-A) but I can't find it anywhere in the actions menu. Any help would be much appreciated!
