you could rebind keys 1 to 8 to some helper function which would inspect
the key pressed. I must admit I have no idea how to do it right, but
this works:
(defun yf/test nil ""
  (interactive)
  (let (key)
    (setq key (with-temp-buffer (call-interactively 'self-insert-command)
                                (buffer-string)))
    (message "Key pressed: %s" key)))
(local-set-key "1" 'yf/test)
(local-set-key "2" 'yf/test)

I guess (interactive "P") should allow you to do that.
