If I understand you correctly, either:

WAHandlerTrackingStrategy >> noHandlerFoundForKey:in:context: ->
WApplication >> #handleExpired: -> WAResponseGenerator >>
#expiredRegistryKey. This is the preferred way, the only issue is that
you don't have access to the session.

Or the removalAction on the cache. I would advise against doing it
here. Keep in mind the session being #unregisgtered here may not the
be session of the currently active request because we do bulk reaping.
