Which is a libpurple plugin that plugs into RTComm through
telepathy-haze which comes back to my idea.  I recognize my idea was
overkill.  Its the only hammer i have for the contacts app so to me
its all nails.

I did just remember, you could do something different, like Hermes or
jid-to-email ( http://blog.barisione.org/2010-02/jid-to-email/ ) where
you actually modify the evolution data store and add another number or
modify the number listed.  I've been tempted to write something like
this where all of my contacts are added to Skype so I get name/picture
caller id on skype.
