If these are two SIP calls; knowing the channel name to parse for is
going to be a bit of a challenge.  Is it possible to do something like
the following?

-> manager sets channel to SIP/foo-UID
-> manager queries status of channel SIP/foo-UID

Since there is a SIP trunk on both sides of this call; no real
extensions are involved.  If this was a Zap bridge I think getting the
channel would be easier.

I'm answering a question with more questions....
