When I find a discount fare on AirAsia's website that includes a stop at KL, is there a way to book it with a few nights there for the same price?

You best bet is to make a reservation based on most of the itinerary you want. Just Hold it, don't pay.

Then, call the airline and ask if the fare rules allow a stopover at the hub instead of a connection. If those particular rules don't, then ask the agent if there are similar discount fares that do allow a stopover.

I managed to contact a travel agent friend and he tells me there probably isn't a way to get a stop at the same price, because this is a difference with low-cost carriers (LCCs).

That makes sense to me as I used to travel only with major airlines and always booked stopovers at the airline hubs, though I did it through travel agents in those days and the prices were way higher of course than the prices possible today with AirAsia and other LCCs.

I also checked multi-city options using the AirAsia website and it seems to work out the same price as booking separate flights, just more convenient.
