This is an excellent question, and one that has been discussed before.

There currently is no easy way to do this.  Of course, you can
always do something like create a web service to put the data in a
database, use <data> to call it from VXML, then retrieve the data
from the database in asterisk's dialplan.  But that's a lot of
work and very inefficient.

The method that makes the most sense to me is to use the <exit>
tag's namelist to send variable names and values back to the
asterisk dialplan.  This will require a code change to voiceglue.

Anybody have a better suggestion?
