Can you have a "priority" build agent where builds only run on it if I tell them to?

Sometimes we have the need to run a build ahead of any other. If we bump it to the top of the build queue we still have to wait until our build agent finishes what it is working on. Can we have a build agent that just sits in the background and nothing automatically runs on it but that I can select a build to run on that agent when I want it to?

While this isn't directly possible, it might be doable by setting an agent requirement to all your configurations, and making sure the "priority agent" doesn't match it, but you can set the parameter manually on a custom build, so that it's set, which would make that agent be the only agent compatible, and the build should be picked up automatically by it. Could you check whether that works for you?
