This is more of an outline than the exact syntax you want, but you could use 
the following idea:

In extensions.conf, use some code to configure your system speed dial (say *75, 
an NANPA standard for that purpose, plus the 2-digit speed dial code, plus the 
destination number)

exten => _*75XX.,1,DBput(SysSpeed/${EXTEN:3:2}=${EXTEN:4})

And to dial the number, supposing you were going to dial # plus the speed dial 
code:

exten => _#XX,1,DBget(destination=SysSpeed/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _#XX,2,GoTo,OutgoingContextToUse|destination|1


If, rather than system speed dial, you wanted individual speed dial numbers for 
each person, you could prepend (or append I guess) the caller's extension 
number to the speed dial code when it goes into the database. And of course you 
could combine system/user speed dials using different code ranges and a 
different programming code.
