just use the external link for hosts.
point it to your network inventory tool and store the contact there. Thats at least what we do.

Using the "notes_url" for this and pointing to a wiki is a very helpful thing. You can keep your info in the wiki, and just give a default notes_url to every host and service. Embed the host and service names in the url, and even if the wiki page doesn't yet exist, then the user can create it (like wikipedia does).
Of course this doesn't survive upgrades or changes of hostname or service name very well...
