Hangup handlers don't allow you any control over the hangup process. You
can't stop it from occurring and in fact when it occurs the channel is
already hung up. Anything that expects a live channel won't work.

You can't do it from a hangup handler. The Dial option provides the g
option[1] which can be used to continue dialplan execution when the called
party hangs up, but I don't work on FreePBX so I can't comment on how best
to use it there.
