being able to automatically get contact information via blocks editor, and use it.

I would like to be able to get the contacts as a list, and have my application 
use that information to make the user's experience better. Having a  phone 
contact component, that shows: email, name, number, and picture. So, the user 
can enter the phone number, or maybe the person's name, and then the 
application goes, and finds the rest of the information for the user. an idea 
would be like a block that says 'Get phone number' and have a place to put the 
name, or vise-versa. Or what ever you see fit. Because, i am making an auto 
reply application, and when you get a incoming text message, it only has the 
phone number, and i would like it to say '[Person] sent you a message' instead 
of '555-1234 sent you a message' That just doesnt sound stream-line. Or 
something similar to that.
