Call Operators dispatched by different Dispatchers

This is a FlexSim 2016 model. In this model:

the yellow items go: SourceA => ProcessA => ProcessC. Both ProcessorA and ProcessC need to use Operator to process.

The red items go: SourceB => ProcessB => ProcessC. Both ProcessorB and ProcessC need to use Operator to process.

When the yellow item comes to ProcessC, ProcessC call OperatorA to operate.

When the red item comes to ProcessC, ProcessC call OperatorB operate.

Here is my question:

I made SourceC which creates brown items, brown items go both ProcessorA and ProcessC. When items go to ProcessC, I want Process C call both OperatorA and OperatorB (strategy could be first available or shortest distance). How can I do?

Use another dispatcher that is connected to both operators and reference that when the 3rd type arrives using your case by type trigger.
