Show Gmail group label & Company name with Recipient in address bar

[Brad Smith]

Is there a way to change how contact names appear in the address bars?  I would like the Gmail group name and Company name (if populated) appear along with the Contact name.  

This information does not need to be transmitted or anything.  Just used as a helper to select the correct recipient.

Here is a photo mock up of this idea.

If you put someone in your Contacts, I think you can include just
about anything in the portion before the actual address. It would
appear in the quotes. So in your example, you might have something
like:
"Vendor - State Farm - Steve Borklund" <st...@steveborklund.com>
or maybe:
"Steve Borklund - State Farm - Vendor" <st...@steveborklund.com>
to make it automatically come up when you start typing "steve".

I don't do very much with my Contacts area, so you may need to
experiment a bit to get it right.

I don't have any inputs but just to share.

My version of showing contacts is :
* Steve Borklund [State Farm - Vendor] <st...@steveborklund.com>
* Dave Mccalister [Project Manager - Customer] <st...@markplum.com>
* Sherly Carly [Buyer - Customer] <she...@markplum.com>

I tried typing customer inside gmail on the search form field and strike enter, Voili..., it comes out the list of every customer I recorded.

    You are correct, from my experience.

If I add this additional contact text/label information, does the recipient see any of this content?

Anything that shows up on the To/CC line, will be visible to the receivers of the message, yes.
