Hmm. I'll look into it. I just got back from vacation. I'll clear my backlog of field day logger fixes, and then check if the qrz api supports multiple or batch lookups.

Describe the solution you'd like When typing the callsign we can have a special function to capture if the input ends with ?, if yes run a wildcard search in QRZ database. The QRZ database will return all possible matches of the callsigns registered with qrz.com
Example: User input in callsign box (you can create a validation there to check if a special character is used; it must be a minimum 4 characters long; otherwise, you will receive hundreds of callsigns) m0so? or m0so we run qrz.com search for m0so
Output: Return from qrz is 15 possible matches, like the list below.

I have not found a logger for Linux that would have such great functionality

Hello, Thanks, I do not think the API will not support lookups; from what I can see, it only does logbook operations, not DB lookups.
Your way into it will be via HTTP request on the search
Question? How did you do the QRZ lookup on callsigns from contest tables, when field where you show grid locators etc ... Do you log in to qrz.com already, I suppose you do to fetch that data
They have a lookup API. We use a generic library called requests to pass in our/your username and password to their API URL. They spit back a session key. We then use the session key to make lookup requests which returns the data in an XML format.

An example of CURL request to qrz.com(unfortunately, qrz API is very, very limited, and it provides logbook functionality only)
