I don't understand *why* you would want to, just added complexity.  But...
abook interfaces with mutt via lbdb:
  /usr/lib64/lbdb/mutt_ldap_query 
  /usr/lib64/lbdb/m_muttalias
  /usr/lib64/lbdb/m_abook
.muttrc:
  set query_command="lbdbq '%s'"  # calling lbdbq    
  macro alias Q "!lbdbq ."        "lbdb query"

I would guess you need to *only* use abook for your "list" or craft a
*different* abook db, other than ~/.abook, for your "list" and alter
/usr/lib64/lbdb/m_abook (change ABOOK=/usr/bin/abook to <your-choice>) and
save to a different file-name, then ....

too much work for *what* gain...



alias my_list alias1 alias2 alias3 alias4 ... ...

much simpler.
