Logistically, there is no way for the phone to know which outgoing account 
YOU want it to use, unless you press extra buttons like on old style PBX 
phones or multi-line phones.  Short of having custom made phones, you can 
play with dial plan and use, for example, a special prefix or postfix to 
indicate which personality you want to present when outgoing.  Is this 
practical?
