Overriding Hot Key for displayoff

I've been playing around with the acpi daemon and setting up some custom events/actions. It took me a while to figure out how to override the power-button, and I finally figured out I had to change a parameter in the logind.conf file. Now I'm on to a few other buttons, specifically fn-F6 which turns the display of my laptop on/off. It works, so that's good, but I realized I have no clue how it works. I can't seem to override it via my own custom event/action scripts.

When I view the journalctl file it says it received a netlink event and that it matched 1 rule, but for the life of me I don't know where this rule is, if it exists, or if I just maybe completely misunderstand how things are working.

Thanks in advance!

journalctl:
