Depending on your database it might be possible to re-create it using a
view onto a table that resembles the file dialplan and a bit of PL-SQL
(or your databases' equivalent) that interprets the labels and 'n'
re-writing them before returning the results to asterisk.

Then again it would be cheaper to do the re-write at insert time with  
a trigger.
