Is there a way on web source script or conversion action to automatically produce a 0 byte dummy file for missing tracks within a release?

I did search but not sure what keywords to use without bringing up a load of results

i.e. folder content for a 4 track release with one missing track.

Before:  
track1.mp3  
track2.mp3  
track4.mp3

After Web Source/Conversion:  
1 - Artist - Track Title.mp3  
2 - Artist - Track Title.mp3  
3 - Artist - Track Title.missing (or any extension except mp3)  
4 - Artist - Track Title.mp3

Kind of automatically identifying what tracks are missing.

Any pointers on this would be much appreciated 🙂
