That's an elegant way to do it, another in AEL, would be to define a
context with an h-exten, and include it in your other contexts...

Just beware, that the h-exten is NOT ALWAYS called; the in the
channel/peer role world, the h-exten is usually called on just
the channel in the channel role.  The parking manager doesn't
run the h-exten if a channel hangs up while parked.  And channel
and peer roles can sometimes get a bit confused in transfer
scenarios. The truth of each sentence above will surely change
with new releases...
