Is it possible to allow an installer to downgrade dll's while not overwriting other app files?

When creating an installer. (using Wix) Is there a way to have better control over the reinstall property for single files/components? I need to be able to downgrade dll files without forcing other files that get modified by the app at runtime to also be re-installed. I've tried setting the reinstall type to dmus from the default omus. However, while this allows me to downgrade dlls it also overwrites other files that have there state modified by the app.
