I'm tot shure if there is any documentation regarding this specific topic.

For Realisation I would suggest three parts:

- Define an "Pseudo-Number" to be dialed on going to / coming back 
from lunch

- The dialplan for this numbers should be modifiyng the state and 
playing an appropriate message.

- The general dialplan has to read the current stat for the dialled 
target and act corresponding to this.

- To Store the state there are DB-like functions in asterisk - or you 
can write an AGI.
