Intercept "call" event in add-in

C

In outlook, if I right click on a contact, there's an option to call
that contact, which I suppose is related to modem dialing. Is there a
way to detect this event in an add-in? I have an existing outlook
add-in that I'd like to extend to handle click to call functionality
from Outlook to a SIP phone system. I'm able to initiate the call with
a TCP message to another application, so that isn't the problem, but
what I need to do is detect when a user clicks "call" and get the
number to dial. I've tried adding an item to the right click menu and
getting the currently selected contact, but so far it appears that this
would only work for the contacts view (and not the preview pane email
viewer). Is there anything I can do here?

Thanks!

Chris
