Crazy idea for family reunion - is this possible?

Just started working on organizing a family reunion for next year.  Could have 100+ people there.  I had this crazy idea for name badges for the reunion.

I'd like to put a QR code on the badge that contains a customized URL to a web application I will develop. When the link is loaded, I'd like it to go directly to that person's TNG page.  For that, I just need the personID in my registration database to generate the correct URL.  That's pretty easy.

Even better would be a custom page with a summary of person data.  TNG does not appear to have an API for fetching that data.  Any workarounds?

I'm also looking at ways to generate a relationship description between the person doing the lookup and the "target" person.  I'd need to find and save the user's personID for that.  I can probably do that by getting them to scan their own QR code.  

Anyone ever done anything like this?

Hello !

For the summary of person data, there is an interesting possibility of creating a pdf on getperson page, except that it's generated on the fly and you can't create a link to that page.

The Chronology mod summarizes a person's life events in a timeline sequence. That could be linked to.
