This is more of a feature request than anything else.
I have a number of alternate email addresses and phone numbers for different people in a business listing. I can only add a single contact name.

What I’d like to be able to do is to include the name next to the phone number or email address. I can do this in the field but see an issue when an entry is added to an address book.

Any chance?

Maybe something like a Family entry type where other entries can be linked to a “parent” entry?

Possibly suited for others.
In my case just a name label that could be added next to a phone number or email address would create a world of difference. That label would not be passed to the VCard.
Idea is that, with multiple phone or email addresses, you know the name of whom you are calling or emailing.
An extension on that may be to have another label with position.
An example of how I added it into the field itself (just the name) is the Kids In Need Association listing at http://normec.org.au/club-directory/
One of those entries is the President and one is The Vice President.

For the First Aid for Motorcyclists entry there they have 2 numbers for 2 contacts but I only listed one since I put a name in the Contact field.

Thinking more on this: if there was that extra label could use it to distinguish between phone numbers and email addresses in other ways. Examples: Sales, Enquiries …
Just one label field for each entered phone number or email address and enter anything you want.

Oh, I see. That would be very problematic to add because that would require a database schema change in order to save that additional data. Sorry, adding something niche like this will not likely be added.

Really, I can only think of two ways to accomplish this… one would be to create links to other entries where they can have their own contact data (like families) or an a custom extension which can add multiple contact info but this way does not seem to be desirable because of the amount of limitations that would come with it.
