This should be very easy. Use something like:

exten => 602,1,Dial(SIP/boss_office&SIP/boss_home,20,trj)
exten => 602,2,Voicemail(u602 at internal)
exten => 602,102,Voicemail(b602 at internal)
exten => 602,hint,SIP/boss_office&SIP/boss_home

exten => 603,1,Dial(SIP/secretary,20,trj)
exten => 603,2,Voicemail(u603 at internal)
exten => 603,102,Voicemail(b603 at internal)
exten => 603,hint,SIP/secretary

and set snom function keys to extensions 602 and 603. (Some firmware 
versions say "Destination" instead of extension, I think.)
