Instead of importing an access table to the contacts, I'd like to import an
Access table that is an ODBC link. Is this possible? |

If it's an Access table, it should be importable into contacts. What happens if you try it?

In outlook's import wizard linked tables don't appear on the list of
available access tables, only imported tables. I will not be updating the table using Access so importing it is not an option.

It's an ODBC System DSN that is connected to a mySQL server datasource.

I tried some other linked tables and got the same result. I guess we can conclude that you'll have to write code or use a third-party tool to perform the import, rather than rely on Outlook's wizard. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm
