Seriously, wouldn't it be fine to be able to do this?
not possible for now...
The extra information (custom names, notes, sounds, etc) for each of your contacts, is stored in the registry. However, the contact's email itself is stored as a hash, thus one-way encrypted. The algorithm used for creating this hash isn't known. Hence, you cannot reverse decrypt them to know which contact the information is for. Hence you cannot create such a tool.
