Choose author names from names.nsf file

We would like to create a Web application where the creator of a document, from a drop down menu, could choose Persons from the names.nsf that also should be Authors for the document (Authors field). Same for Readers. In iNotes they have a window where you choose persons and the email address is returned. But how do we do to get the hierarchical name to be returned instead?
Take a look at @Dblookup. You can easily reference the Name field in the person document.
