Description

At the moment there is no way of defining which feature I want in which zoomlevel.

My suggestion:
Add the possibility to use something like [ "step", ["zoom"], ... ] with the -j flag.
Like it is used in https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the -j flag handles GeoJSON and compare the proposed ["step", ["zoom"], ...] expression with the linked Mapbox GL style specification. Define the supported zoom-level behavior and confirm that the requested feature-selection syntax works when converting GeoJSON to vector tiles.
