Limit the results of an inputField's lookup button to a certain account

Hello,

 

I have an inputField set to a lookup relationship of type Contact. When the lookup button next to the inputField is pressed, it returns every contact that matches up with the name entered. I want to limit the results of that search to contacts with a specific account value. Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is to allow the user to select the contact record of the person that is escorting a visitor into our workplace. It wouldn't make sense that they could select someone that doesn't work at the company as an escort.

 

Can I do this in some way?

 

I thank anyone that can help.
