Raspbian Desktop

Is it possible to load the raspbian Desktop on a Rpi once the freepbx image file is installed and setup? I would like to have PBX running in the background and then be able to launch the desktop.

Better ask it on FreePBX
Better ask it on FreePBX forum since it is their product...

Otherwise is should be possible to install a desktop manager depending on OS runing it... I just do not use it so I can't help further.

Something to Try

David,

Have you tried simply plugging a keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the raspberry pi to see what happens? A gui might be there already. Make sure you power cycle the rpi after you plug in the peripherals so that they get recognized on bootup.

David, 
David, 
 
The image you are using has the freePBX installed on top of the headless Raspian system. There is no way to install the desktop version on it now. 
Not that I know of, at least. 
 
The way to achieve what you asking for would be you manually installing the freePBX on top of a full version (desktop) of Raspbian, from scratch. 
Probably not the easiest solution, but doable. 
 
I personally had to use a second Pi next to the one running the freePBX software.

Seems like it may not be too
Seems like it may not be too difficult:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install raspberrypi-ui-mods
sudo reboot
