Hint also know/used as BLF (Busy Lamp Field)
Typically a collection of lights or indicators on a phone that indicate who is talking on other phones connected to the same PBX or Key System. Used by a receptionist or secetary to aid in routing incoming calls.
The 'hint' priority associates an extension with an Asterisk channel for the purpose of mapping the state of the channel to a state of the extension. It is now possible to specify a pattern match as a hint. Once a phone subscribes to something that matches the pattern a hint will be created using the contents and variables evaluated.
exten => _7[56]XX,hint,SIP/${EXTEN}
exten => 701,hint,park:701@parkedcalls
I have not tried this but I'm guessing you could also use wildcard on parked calls as follows.
exten => _7[01]X,hint,park:${EXTEN}@parkedcalls
