Asterisk will always dial the channel first then the 
context/extension/application etc.

Couple of things to bear in mind - you won't be able to tell if the call 
is answered if you are using analogue lines.

Action: Originate
Channel: Zap/g1/12345
Context: extensions
Extension: 1000
Priority: 1

The above will call 12345 and when connected (either when the call 
starts with analogue or when it is connected with digital) it will go to 
extension 1000 in the context extensions, where you would have something 
like:

[extensions]
exten => _1XXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
