I suspect the Google Docs/Dropbox is simply manipulating various URLs via some RESTful API. If you can instead load an arbitrary URL, I'd suggest one that hooks into a CGI script running on your Asterisk server (or another local web server) that simply sets a value in a database row. Your PBX can then reference that database row using my func_odbc module (built-in to Asterisk since the 1.4 days).
