Is there a combat maneuver weapon enhancement?

Specifically - is there a weapon enhancement I can get put on a whip that will allow me to perform dirty tricks with it? Whip will do trip (and therefore drag/reposition) and disarm. I seem to recall a "this weapon can also be used to do combat maneuver X" enhancement, but not sure where to find it.

And is it legal for pathfinder society play?

I was thinking of the "Dueling Weapon" enhancement in the PFS field guide. It gives a bonus to maneuvers, but does not allow a weapon to perform maneuvers that it otherwise couldn't.

You don't need any specific enhancement to do a dirty trick with a whip, you just need your GM to agree that you can accomplish the dirty trick you have in mind. For example, flicking your whip into an enemy's eyes to blind them, or using your whip to hit his belt buckle and cause his pants to fall down, etc., etc.

Don't confuse that the whip gets +2 with Trip maneuvers to think you cannot use it for other maneuvers... you just don't get a bonus. Of course, Improved Dirty Trick and Greater Dirty Trick would help with any maneuvers, and any magical enhancement to the whip increases CMB if the whip is used to perform the maneuver.
