asterisk users - Jul 2009 - Graphical Call Manager Allowing Transfer of Any Call?

I'm looking for a graphical call manager for Asterisk. Ideally this would
run locally on a desktop system or be web based. I'm familiar with
iSymphony, FoP, HUDlite, AstAssistant, ADM, etc but I'm finding a common
problem. They all let you transfer calls that connected to an
'extension' but not 'any' call on the system. For example, when
a party calls into an * system, even if they aren't speaking to someone at
an extension, I'd like to transfer them somewhere. The caller could be
listening to the IVR, they could be sitting in an empty meetme conference with
no other participants, or they could be dialing a ring group. Essentially, I
need a system that allows transfer of any call from any 'location'.

Are there any known software packages that do this? As mentioned, desktop based
(Windows/Mac) would be preferable but a web based interface would be fine also.
I appreciate any suggestions you can offer. Thank you!

FOP can already do this.

I have often grabbed a ringing call in FOP and dropped it off on another 
extension.

One very simple solution:

The Asterisk source includes a script called astman.js that uses the
AJAM (manager/ajax) interface to show calls and allow simple
manipulations of them.

It is also used in the asterisk-gui.
