MSMQ prevent publishing of duplicate messages (as in Azure Service Bus)

Question

I have a watcher process that detect some changes (for example in a filesystem) and pushes new messages into a queue. I have a unique way to identify each message.

I want to prevent publishing the same message twice and I don't want to keep any explicit state on this watcher.

I've read here that Azure Service Bus Queues support Duplicate Detection on the sender side, that is exactly what I'm looking for, but for MSMQ.

Is there a similar feature on MSMQ? If not, how can I support a similar feature on top of MSMQ.
