Core Data store bridge to AddressBook

Hello everybody!

I plan an application that should partly manage some entities that 
have a one-to-one relationship with a contact similar to a record in 
Apple's AddressBook (AB). The persistence layer will be based on Core 
Data using SQLite. As AB does great job in managing contacts I think 
it would be a waste of time and energy not to use it...

Does it make sense to have an entity stored in a SQLite data file and 
referencing a record in the AB? Is it possible to write a custom store 
that wraps around the AB's API and use it parallel to the SQLite store?

Do you have an experience with similar issues... or a better idea?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Yanko
