Depending on which POWL you are using, once you have identified the feeder class (via transaction POWL_TYPE) you may be able to create a custom sub-class of that feeder class and redefine the appropriate sub-class methods; for example, if you are using POWL application IBO_INBOX and you want to customize the IBO_INBOX_WI (work items) type/query, you can create a custom sub-class of CL_IBO_INBOX_FEEDER_WI and redefine the appropriate methods (IF_POWL_FEEDER~GET_OBJECTS, SET_MV_RESULTS, and SET_MV_RESULTSTRUCTURE in particular).  Then, once you have the ABAP and Data Dictionary changes complete, you can use the custom sub-class in a custom POWL type and link the custom POWL type to a custom POWL Query to a POWL application.

Here are a couple of helpful links regarding POWL as well:
