I did a preliminary research on this and didn't find a way.
Maybe there is a way, but not an easy one.
I wouldn't hold my breath though.

You can start with this article:
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

Then read udevadm(8) manpage, especially section on "monitor".

Then maybe look at what is available in sysfs for input devices.

More direct way would be to just read the kernel source, but it isn't for
the faint of heart.

Sincerely,
Nick
