Three applications that would allow you to achieve something like that
- disa, flash and senddtmf.

This is untested, but some logic like the following might help:

Use something like the following in your IVR.

exten => 10,1,DISA,1234|calltransfer

Then, add the context and code like:

[calltransfer]

exten => _X.,1,Flash
exten => _X.,2,Wait,1
exten => _X.,3,SendDTMF(*08${EXTEN}#)
exten => _X.,4,Hangup

I'm not sure off hand how you could terminate a number with #, but
DISA will proceed after 10 seconds anyway.

I'd be curious to see if it works - so let us know.
