I can add to Contacts but not "open contact in address book" which under 4.3 
opened an existing contact/email in the address book/Contacts. 

In fact an email address which is already in Contacts will be added again as a 
duplicate. 

The link Jim has provided

Also states that distribution list is not yet released.

Quote:
Distribution Lists - the migration tool for your existing distribution lists 
is not yet released. It is work-in-progress. Where appropriate you can create 
a new Group - Groups will replace Distribution Lists. Auto completion makes it 
quite easy to add entries to the group. In KDE SC <= 4.4.2 you can't use the 
group quite like a distribution list, typing the name and expecting it to be 
expanded into a list of names. You can, though, copy and paste the list of 
names from the right-hand panel.

It appears, a downgrade to 4.3 is at hands.
