It's one situation where there is no formal R/T protocol. Just use plain language.

Say something like:

"C/sign, changing to ABC tower (freq) as I pass over the ATZ, will call you back in two minutes".

On your return to their frequency, say something like: "C/sign, back with you, request Traffic Service".

It often happens, I've never heard ATC have an issue with it.
