triggers

I have a style defined in a resource dictionary that applies to all ComboBox controls. Within the ComboBox control, I reference the style like so:

Style="{DynamicResource MyComboBoxStyle}"

This works ok.

I want to be able to add some triggers to some of the ComboBox controls. What is a good way to use the style referenced as a dynamic resource yet still be able to add triggers to some of the ComboBox controls?
