'Person Name Smart Tag' custom functionality

'Person Name Smart Tags' are available with To/From/Cc/Bcc e-mail addresses
of Outlook. If you move the mouse pointer to e-mail ids in these fields, a
'Windows Messenger' icon will appear and you can get a context menu by
clicking on that icon. This Smart Tag of Outlook provides the functionality
to call or send mail to that person using smart tag menus by leveraging the
functionality of 'Windows Messenger'.

I want to do some preprocessing (like providing default message body or
displaying a message box before placing call) on the click of these menu
items using outlook automation or plug in or any other possible way. Is there
any way to modify the name of these smart tag menu items and hooking or
capturing the click event of these menu items?

How Microsoft Outlook integrated with Windows messenger to provide call
facility? Which DLL is responsible for it? Can I hook into that DLL to trap
the click of Call menu?

Please help me if you have any ideas in this regard. Let me know if I am not
clear with my points.

NB : I don’t want to do this activity via adding ‘Additional Actions’ in
the smart tag menu, but I want to use the existing ‘Call Work..’ menu click
event.
