Indeed it is, I should have mentioned I wanted to do it in bash.

I thought of DCOP before I posted but I thought "There's probably no DCOP
function for that."
Oh how wrong I was:
dcop kaddressbook KAddressBookIface getNameByPhone
Wow, exactly what I need. Thanks for the pointer.
If anyone is interested, what I am doing is using telnet to talk to the
Asterisk manager interface and generate a call to my desk phone, when my desk
phone is answered it then calls out to the number that was clicked on. All in
a couple of lines of bash. Linux is cool.
