[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-29745) pbx: Add public API for more elegant variable substitution with extensions

[N A (JIRA)]

N A updated ASTERISK-29745:
---------------------------

    Description: Currently, variable substitution in Asterisk when dealing with dialplan extensions is extremely clunky. It requires changing the dialplan extension, context, and priority for the sole purpose of variable substitution, although there's no fundamental reason this needs to be done. This can lead to async goto problems if not changed back quickly enough or if there are concurrency issues. This can all be easily avoided, however. Public API is added so that these variables can be overridden using a new API. No existing API is changed.
