Well, you covered up the name of the attribute, but yes, in general, you can trigger an automation if an attribute of a particular entity becomes a certain value. You can use a template trigger, that might look something like this:

automation:
  - alias: Kodi Add-on in sensor.plex
    trigger:
      platform: template
      value_template: "{{ 'Kodi Add-on' in state_attr('sensor.plex', 'secret_attribute') }}"
    action:
      ...
