An interesting discussion in experts-exchange: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Applications/MS_Office/Outlook/Q_21558859.html Just page down a few times to read it.
The two solutions mentioned there are:
- Set Outlook to use Word as email-editor, so you can use the Insert Hyperlink feature. Seems quite doable. I've got my Outlook XP at work (Windows XP, 256 Mb) configured like this without any issue.
- Buy Microsoft Sharepoint server. Seems a rather big step.
Hope this helps.

Win XP Pro SP2 with MS Outlook 2002.
It is not much of a problem finding out how to create a hyperlink in Outlook - Start with file:///C:\ and follow on with the path to the file to be linked. However, I am not able to find out how, if at all possible, to change the underlined link to a ''Word to Show'', i.e. replace the link with a word, as in MS Word when the hyperlink is inserted via the insert hyperlink tool.
What I am trying to do: At Outlook-Task, where I have a description of the task to be performed, e.g. editing a document, I would access that document with a hyperlink as per above method, but instead of the path to the document, I would like to use a descriptive word, e.g. edit ''XO Contract'' with the ''XO Contract'' underlined as in a hyperlink. Any ideas ? Thanks.
