Here's how I solved this: I use the System() dialplan application to
call out to a bash script, which creates asterisk call files and moves
them to the proper directory. I opted to send notification to a select
group of staff members rather than using the overhead pager, but the
same technique would work for the pager.
The script is very fast and does not interrupt the flow of the actual call.

We have an overhead paging system that is working fine with our asterisk

extension (PJSIP) without disrupting the current channel. Can this be
done? I want to use it in the dial plan when a 911/emergency call is
placed, so it is imperative that the calling channel not be disrupted.
The following works, but it disrupts the calling channel:
Dial(${PAGER},20,A(filename)L(3000))
