Default Is it possible to "Link" contacts in multiple Addresss Books?

In particular, I keep a list of Contacts to send to my Blackberry.
Blackberry is trained to go to the "BB Contacts" address book and retrieve
the information. This book is simple a partial list of those in the "All
Contacts".

What i would like to do is change the data for a contact in the "All
Contacts" book and have it automatically change in the "BB Contacts" address
book. Sometimes it's difficult to remember which Address Books a contact is
contained in and then go in to change each entry for that contact. Linking
the address books would be handy.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

No, its not possible. You should be using 1 Contacts and categories to
'group' contacts. I believe desktop manager can sync by categories, BES
will sync all but you can use filters on the BB To hide the other contacts.
