hAVE THE ADJUSTMENT LAYER WORK ON LAYERS TO IT HITS A EMPTY TRACK

Sometime you don't want to nest everything , when i put an adjustment layer down and would like it to effect certain layers, not every layer below it. Can you make it that the adjustment layer only effects the layers below it untill it sees a empty layer. So the empty layer would work as a spacer, or some other insert that would stop the adjustment from going any further.
