Address Book with Directory Services

Hello,

I’ve recently started playing with AppleScript, specifically for adding some actions to Address Book. I apologize in advance, if my terminology is wrong… as I’ve just recently switched to a Mac. =)

I created a simple script for Address Book that adds a dummy function to the context/property[?] menu for phone numbers. Basically for now, it just displays an action I want to be able to click.

For contacts that are local to the machine, the option appears. But I’ve noticed for contacts that are found via LDAP or Exchange, this doesn’t work. You can’t actually pull up the context menu to show available actions. I’ve tried searching forums and Google, but I don’t seem to be doing a good enough job.

Is it possible to have actions for Contacts that are not local to the machine that the script is running on? The action will strictly be read-only in nature, not altering data.

Thanks

chad
