st: back out quantile at given value

I am sure this is an easy question, but I havent figured out the best
way to solve the following problem.
My aim is to estimate quantile regressions for different sub-populations
in my sample. The distributions of my outcome variable differ across
these subpopulations, but I want to estimate quantile effects using the
rifreg command at exactly the same value of the outcome variable for
every subsample.
More precisely: I am interested in the effect of income on Body Mass
Index excactly at the value of BMI=30 for different subpopulations and
BMI=30 is at different quantiles depending on the sub-population. How do
I BEST back out the quantile where the value of my outcome BMI=30?
Is there any direct command?
Many thanks
