Well - if is a stdWrap property, and you would find a recipe that is
dedicated to "comparing values" only ...

You just need a wrap that offers stdWrap properties.
You can use innerWrap, innerWrap2, outerWrap and combinations of them

Example:

10 = COA
10 {
    10 = TEXT
    10.value = some content
    20 = TEXT
    20.value = some more content
    stdWrap {
        innerWrap = MY | WRAP
        innerWrap {
            if {
                value = 3
                equals.field = header_layout
            }
        }
    }
}

A more flexible solution might be:

10 = COA
10 {
    10 = TEXT
    10.value = some content
    20 = TEXT
    20.value = some more content
    stdWrap {
        innerWrap.cObject = CASE
        innerWrap.cObject {
            key.field = header_layout
            default = TEXT
            default.value = |
            3 = TEXT
            3.value = MY | WRAP
        }
    }
}

This way you can have different wraps for each of the header_layout options.
