asterisk users - Aug 2003 - "Double" transfer?

I'm not sure what to call what I want to do; I'm not sure how to do it; 
I'm not sure it can even be done. . . .

I have googled and read the docs, but can't find anything close to this:

I have an asterisk box with an X100P that is attached to a PBX line. 
What we want to do is to have the PBX attendant, after having taken a 
call for someone who isn't in the office, be able to dial up the 
extension attached to the X100P, and then (HERE'S THE RUB!!) select one 
from a number of extensions on the asterisk box that would be the 
voicemail for a particular person.

Then, once that choice has been made, the hope is that the PBX caller 
could be bridged to the voicemail box of the user in question.

I'm going to start playing, but I hoped to run this past the list to see 
if this is a) something undoable, or b) something trivially doable for 
which I'm suffering a mental block making it seem complicated.

Thanks.

How about something like this?

exten => _7XXXX,1,Ringing
exten => _7XXXX,2,Wait(4)
exten => _7XXXX,3,Voicemail2(u${EXTEN:1})
exten => _7XXXX,4,Hangup

Just be sure you get the extension right :)
