I looked into the same thing a while back.  It might have changed for
OfficeXP, but in prior versions there is simply no way to do this.  You can
link to most Office objects, as you've obviously found.  But you can't link
to specific dates.

Subject: [DQSD-Users] launching outlook from the popup calendar


I've explored the possibility of adding a function to open a calendar in
Microsoft Outlook.  Although I've not been sucessful in getting a reliable
way to go directly to the right date, I thought I'd suggest the following
basic addition:

calendar.js -- additional function
==
function outlook(dat)
{
  //TODO - find out how to open at a particular date
  DQSDLauncher.OpenDocument("outlook:calendar");
}

preferences.js
==
*  Valid calendars include:
*  yhocal - Yahoo Calendar
....
*  outlook - open MS Outlook default calendar


By the way the vbscript or VBA required to control the currently displayed
date in Outlook 2000 is not nice at all, I think it would invole either
inspectors and command bars, or simulating key presses or something silly.
Messy stuff to get right and maintain for different configurations.

It's particularly horrible when you come from UNIX-land where you expect
eveything to have a command line switch. If anyone can suggest a clean way
to do this I would love to hear about it.
