First, are you talking abotu AGI or the manager interface (AMI) ?   
They are too different beasts.

In AGI, you certainly already have this capability through STREAM FILE  
or with EXEC Playback.

In AMI, you would be correct in saying that there is not a straight  
forward way to do this today.  However, it's not as trivial to  
implement as you might think.  You can not model it after app_playback  
or something similar.  The big reason is that the handling of a  
manager action happens in another thread, not in the channel thread  
like the Playback application code.
