That's an excellent idea, I think. With an option to print an org chart
based on a contact selection.
Certainly there are accessible fields to enter, like manager's name and
assistant's name. Plus 'Categories' could help, but I don't think it comes
together like you suggest, at least not without some coding.

Wouldn't it be possible to introduce a 'network pattern' within the
Outlook
Contacts?
With network pattern I mean that every contact can be related to one or
more
parents and every parent can have one or more childs (like
Bill-Of-Material
structure in a relational database). This way it is possible to:
- define non-related contacts with all sorts of detail
- define two contacts with a parent contact witch holds the adress and
home
phone (family -- father, mom, child1). The child contacts contain specific
information (birth date, mobile phone etc.)
- define overlapping groups (not possible with a recursive relationship).
