Bad news for you: Nope, login names are not stored centrally and backends also do not offer a way to look up login names. Also I fail to see a cheap or new solution (other than requiring the LDAP admin to also include the login name attributes in the user search attributes and just use the user search to accomplish the task). The share dialog, for instance, is also looking up users like this.
