The completion for group based on tags is done in the function
`org-contacts-complete-group'.

It's been a long time since I played with the completion mechanism, so I
don't remember exactly how it worked. Maybe you can replace the mapcar
with your function, but it might a bit more tricky than that, especially
to handle empty result.

Thanks for your work :)
