No, there is not.  Users.conf is meant to be a very simple interface for
adding users, designed especially for the Asterisk GUI project.  It has never
been a general purpose good interface for the full complement of Asterisk
features.  If you want a simple interface, use users.conf.  If you want full
features, use each configuration file separately.

That's not what subscribecontext does.  Subscribecontext contains the context
where your phone will LOOK for extension states when it watches other
extensions.
