In addition to Steve's approach using templates, in Asterisk 11, you'll be able
to use hangup handlers.  These are subroutines that can be attached to a channel
and are executed after the channel is hung up.

[hangup_handler]

exten => my_handler,1,NoOp()
same => n,Verbose(Execute your normal 'h' extension logic here)
same => n,Return()

[context_1]

exten => 123,1,NoOp()
same => n,Set(CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push)=hangup_handler,my_handler,1)
same => n,Verbose(do stuff)

[context_2]

exten => 123,1,NoOp()
same => n,Set(CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push)=hangup_handler,my_handler,1)
same => n,Verbose(do stuff)
