Look at the comments at the top of ABAddressBook.h:

// ================================================================
//      OpenURL support
// ================================================================
// An application can open the AddressBook app and select (and edit) a
specific
// person by using the -[NSWorkspace openURL:] API.
//
// To launch (or bring to front) the Address Book app and select a given
person
//
// NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"addressbook://%@",
[aPerson uniqueId]];
// [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
//
// To launch (or bring to front) the Address Book app and edit a given person
//
// NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"addressbook://%@?
edit", [aPerson uniqueId]];
// [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
