One option is: let button set a flag (that could be a form item, a parameter or a global variable - pick one). Check flag's value in PRE-INSERT trigger. If it is set, it means that button set it so - don't do anything. If it is not set, obviously, let it work.

Don't forget to reset the flag at the end of the trigger.
