That sounds like the old "look in a database and show what your wnat on screen" that is something web sites do all the time. So that's not new and I bet examples and tutorials are out there. But you would have to tailor it to your web site and server which is what you'll be working on for a few weeks.

If I am understanding (or assuming) correctly, it is not possible to pass name via the tel: links.
And hence it is not possible to change what use will see as name on their phone on clicking these links

When dialing a number within the country you are in, you still need to dial the national trunk number before the rest of the number. For example, in Australia one would dial:
0 - trunk prefix
2 - Area code for New South Wales
6555 - STD code for a specific telephone exchange
1234 - Telephone Exchange specific extension.
For a mobile phone this becomes
0 - trunk prefix
4 - Area code for a mobile telephone
1234 5678 - Mobile telephone number
Now, when I want to dial via the international trunk, you need to drop the trunk prefix and replace it with the international dialing prefix
-
- Short hand for the country trunk number
61 - Country code for Australia
4 - Area code for a mobile telephone
1234 5678 - Mobile telephone number
This is why you often find that the first digit of a telephone number is dropped when dialling internationally, even when using international prefixing to dial within the same country.
- Short hand for the country trunk number
So as per the trunk prefix for Germany drop the 0 and add the +49 for Germany's international calling code (for example) giving:
<a href="tel:+496170961709" class="Blondie">
Call me, call me any, anytime
<b>Call me (call me) I'll arrive</b>
