Ok, a simplified sample (i used PHP because i use it daily, but any
language is good):

context incoming {
  _X. => {
    Answer();
    System(channel-waiting.php ${CHANNEL});
    MusicOnHold();
  }
}

context continue {
  _X. => {
    // you reached your condition
    Playback(tt-monkeys);
    Dial(SIP/something);
  }
}

then a channel-waiting.php would store ${CHANNEL} name somewhere in database.

Then, assuming you can execute some code WHEN you change the database
value you wanted to monitor in loop, you launch a script that sends
AMI Redirect action.

For example:

<?

$channel = 'SIP/123-abc'; // retrieved from DB where set by channel-waiting.php

require "phpagi-asmanager.php";
$as = new AGI_AsteriskManager();

$res=$as->connect("localhost","username","password");
if($res==FALSE) {
	echo "Connection failed.\n";
}

$res=$as->send_request("Redirect",
	array(
		"Channel"=>$channel,
		"Context"=>"continue",
		"Exten"=>"123",
		"Priority"=>"1"
		)
	);

if($as->resp_is_success($res)){
	echo "it worked!";
}
?>
