Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I don't need a fully-fledged CRM but it would be cool to comment on contacts. So I and my collegues can store some data with the contacs. Comments have the advantages that they
- are an existing feature
- automatically show the commenting user
- automatically show the timestamp
Describe the solution you'd like
In Outlook I use the comment field to achieve something like that. But there I have to add my name and timestamp myself.
But maybe it would be cool, if the comments in Nextcloud were stored in this comment field, so external apps can access them - at least for reading.
Describe alternatives you've considered
External CRM. I don't need all the features.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how comments are currently stored in Nextcloud Contacts and how contact data is exposed to external apps. Compare the requested behavior with Outlook's comment field and the existing vCard/CardDAV context. Done requires agreeing on the storage and access scope, then supporting comments on contacts with author and timestamp.
