TeXmacs mappings can be restricted to a predicate evaluated in real
time, making them "contextually overloaded". I think this fit your
needs, in a more functionnal way (in the sense that you don't need
boards effects, like changing global shortcuts runtime, to get the
wanted behavior).

This could looks like:
(kbd-map
  (:require (inside? 'a-well-suited-texmacs-tag))
  ("M-x" (make 'x-matrix)))
