Well i think i can help you with this one. Will try to be as clear as possible.
Step one is to fill in the desired value in B2 by clicking on a hyperlink:

1. Make all hyperlinks lead to cell $B$2 (th one with the lookup value.
2. Add the following VBA code to Sheet1 (or as you case is):

Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
    If ActiveCell.Address = "$B$2" Then
        ActiveCell.Value = Target.Range.Value
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub

Step two is the formula to fill in the contact details:

1. I take it that contact1, contact2 etc. may be some contact alias. this means you have five columns of data for each alias. This doesn't really matter.
2. Use the following formula to get the name of the contact:
   =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B$2,Sheet2!A:F,2,0),"")
3. Adjust it to you particular situation and values. Change the red number to get the rest of the contact details.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I managed to observe some strange behaviour of the hyperlinks if i use Filling to multiply them. Maybe make a cell with a hyperlink and then use copy to multiply it, but avoid fill down or fill right or whatever.
