Hi Martin, You should be able to link to Excel and Word documents from Org by prefixing the normal path with "file+sys:" instead of just file. This doesn't work when the files are on a Windows Share (at least for me), though. I'm also interested in getting a robust connection between Org and Outlook so I will be paying attention to this thread with earnest.
