If you are using (RoTW) Confound the Big Folk's Unsteady Footing, can you substitute an a trip attack for a maneuver that mimics a trip attack?

I'm wondering this, because it states that you can take a standard action to trip the opponent, but what if you take that standard action to, say, use Setting Sun's Mighty Throw? The maneuver says "resolve the attack as a trip attack", but it isn't technically a trip.

Secondly, would it be balanced to allow it? It seems thematically like it would work in tandem, with the manuever just being an advanced trip.

(Has this been answered before?)

As a DM, if it works like a trip and is resolved like a trip, I would allow it.
