Have a look at http://www.gnusoftware.com/Emacs/Com/
A few years ago I was looking for a way to do similar things. At the
time I wanted to spawn devstudio help on a word within an emacs
buffer... similar to hitting F1 within devstudio.
I looked at the COM patch and it seemed flaky...
I ended up using http://www.gnusoftware.com/Emacs/Dynamic/ and simply
creating a method to make the COM calls from within the plug-in dll.
It worked pretty well for what I was trying to do... namely the
automation of msdn viewer, but it wasn't very flexible. Adding
support for a new component required a recompile of the plug-in. Also
I like to use cvs emacs, so everytime I updated I would have to
remember to apply the patch as well... which only lasted a few months.
I'm sure you could do something similar... making it more generic.
Could probably do that by using dispinterfaces and named parms.
