Why not just filter the current object and loop through the items you want? Something like this should work:

(function(){
    var original = jQuery.fn.append;

    jQuery.fn.append = function(){
        this.filter("yourselector").each(function(){
            // Do stuff
        });

        return original.apply(this, arguments);
    }
})();
