You misunderstand my suggestion.

I configure which of my contacts should be used when I send an
unqualified 'call' command via IM.  I do this configuration just once
with no time qualifiers.   For example, I tell it it use both my
extension and my cell phone because I'll almost always be able to use
one of those.

When I send an unqualified 'call' command, the PA does both of those
INVITES in parallel - it does not need to use my forwarding rules.  When
one of those two calls is answered, PA kills the other call and
completes the call setup to my target on the active call.
