Pasting Links to Contacts within Calander

Has anyone figured out how to paste a link to a contact or phone number from within a calander entry or task entry ?

I want to create a task say to call a friend sometime, but all i know how to do is put his name in the task title or notes tab page. What would be cool, would be able to put a link (like a hyperlink) to his entry in my contacts database. Then when the task is due, i can just click on the link and it will dial or go to his entry in the contacts and then I can dial. Otherwise I must manual search for his name myself.

Iv noticed that you can put some kind of links in the jotter app. IE, if you put a number in jotter, it is underlined and then you can press the link and it will autodial. But cannot seem to do this with other apps such as calander or tasks.

Iv also noticed that you can do 'normal' cut & paste on text from most apps by holding the pen on the screen text for a couple of secs, then release and you can highlight the text you want to copy by dragging your pen back accross the screen text.

Having either an "attendees" list (like To: in the messaging areas) or just having a contacts drop down in the appointment title would be good.
Unfortunately, this would not transparently sync to Outlook, which may be where the constraint is.
People did this on Palm OS by embedding link codes in the note.
