Can I use the reaction on luxurious silks to pay the cost of destroying an attachment part of sundering strike? I suspect the answer is no as the payment part isn't between the colons but would like a clarification.
Luxurious silk and sundering strike
A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

You're still paying for an action, it's just an optional payment since it's not in the constraints block. You may use Luxurious Silk's Reaction.
