Default Custom Contact Activities

Is there a way to add custom entries to the contact activities section?
It looks like Outlook simply searches different 'folders' looking for
references to the contact. Is there a way you could search another
database or datasource somehow?

I am storing activities that are related to a contact in another system
and would love to be able to display them in Outlook.

Thanks,

Tom

Default Custom Contact Activities

Only if the database table were exposed as an Outlook folder (see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#tools), since Activities scans only folders.
