I think these are your only choices as mentioned above:

-Press Intercom then 9 and dial your #

-Program a button to dial 9 - this will save pressing Intercom then 9
Press the button then dial your number.

-Program Auto Dial (F*82)- this will save pressing Intercom.
Dial 9 and #

-Program a new Dest code of 8 and make it use a new route, make that route grab PRI same as existing route.
Program on set Hotline, External, pause, 8
Lift handset or use same way as Auto Dial and just start dialing your # from key pad.
