It looks like the the table com_palm_pim_Person (in PalmDatabase.db3) has a field contactCount which is the number of contacts that are linked. (For entries just on the phone it is 1.)

Unconfirmed, but I guess that contact links are store in
/var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmAccountDatabase.db3
or
/var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3
It looks like the the table com_palm_pim_Person (in PalmDatabase.db3) has a field contactCount which is the number of contacts that are linked. (For entries just on the phone it is 1.) The linked contacts are then in the com_palm_pim_Contact table. (Connected by the field id in _Person and com_palm_pim_Person_id.)
