The only way to “sort of do this” with an Airtable form is to use a linked record field to choose your clients from a clients table, but your primary field in that clients table would need to be formula field that combines all the information that you want to see. Then, you would see all the information within the linked record dropdown in the form.

Otherwise, the only ”real way” to do this would be to use 3rd party forms that work with Airtable, such as MiniExtensions.com or the combination of JotForm + On2Air Forms.
