A somewhat-hidden feature of Address Book is its ability to add a URL to a contact. This feature used in Safari 4, which has a special Bookmarks section for Address Book entries, where it will use URLs from Address Book contact records. (For instance, if you take a look a the Address Book entries in Safari 4's Bookmarks area, you will find that the Apple Inc. card has a home page associated with it.)
It's not obvious how to accomplish this, as a Home Page field does not appear by default on a new blank card, nor when editing an old one or when adding fields using the green (+) button. The solution is in the Card » Add Field menu. From that menu, select the URL entry to add the field to any card. After entering a URL, it will then appear in Safari's Address Book bookmarks.
