Earphone switch link to Cortana - Idea

Hey guys,
While I was playing around with Cortana on my laptop I had an idea but cannot find any solution in google so I am making this thread here to get some attention of some devs and geeks here who might know a way to get this done.
We all know those switches on our earphones that comes with our mobile phone. We know they are used to answer/end call, change music, etc. in a mobile phone but laptops doesn't seem to recognize them. Is there any way to get our laptops to detect them so as to trigger an event? I personally would love to activate Cortana to listen when I hit the switch so I can avoid saying "Hey Cortana" every single time. If it is not possible then an earphone with a customizable switch like that would be great, don't you think?
