As was explained to me via private email you would do something like:

exten => s,1,answer
exten => s,2,broadcast(some arbitrary message here)
exten => s,3,blah

any of the configured systems would get the message, so if you wanted to
broadcast caller id or anything else from within a dialplan you could.  

Any arbitrary message can be embedded in any dialplan wherever you want.
As for the listening that wasnt asked by me nor answered (hard to answer
a question that is never asked :)  so I cant say.
