In PJSIP there is the PJSIP_MEDIA_OFFER dialplan function[1] but ultimately codec negotiation is not written or implemented in the way you need. There are some hints provided internally for outgoing legs but the result is still ultimately independent. That is: Each leg is negotiated from Asterisk to the endpoint, not endpoint to endpoint via Asterisk. This works for the vast majority of users as they have media flowing through Asterisk (by choice or via use of features) and are fine with transcoding (generally using codecs which aren't that costly or low channel count). Asterisk 16 has some of the foundational work to improve this through the implementation of streams but noone has worked on extending the codec negotiation support.
