I don't think so!

How about you just don't answer the call in the first place?

Ring it through to an extension that doesn't actually ring (maybe the 
console?) and then use pickup to answer from another phone in the same 
pickup group. This could be used for your music on hold case also by 
using the "m" modifier on the Dial command to the non-ringing extension.
