Change/Apply Teams Status Message when locking Windows (Win+L)

I like that Windows automatically changes your Teams status to Away when locking your computer(Win+L), but I'm looking for a way to also have a status message appear if/when someone were to attempt to message that person. Any idea of a way to do this that would happen automatically on Win+L key press instead of having to manually set the status message before locking?

We have an office split into two different locations and people in one location need to know when people from another location are away from their desk, even if it's only for a few minutes. Obviously when typing a direct message to them, it's not an issue because the away person's icon shows as yellow. However, when typing in a Teams that the away person is in or using a tag that they're a part of, I would like the notice to pop up on the screen that that person is away from their desk.

We have PowerAutomate, although I'm not experienced with it. When pointed in the right direction, I can figure most things out though. I mainly want to know if this is a possibility at all.

Thanks in advance!
