I tried something similar couple of years ago, basically it doesn't work. You could get away by just saying returntype="Any" but reason I abandoned idea was that extends attribute doesn't work with dynamic value.
If you have same situation as we did it's time to consider multiple instances of CF. It takes a while to properly understand that but gives you lots of flexibility.
