Combining Outlook and Access

Is there a way to have text in an outlook email return a value from an
access table???

For example, if I get an email with a part number in it, can I some
how make it so that I can see the price of the part number with just a
click? I am looking for something similar to 'smart tags', I think.

Presumably the code would have to be able to find the partnumber in
the body of the text, perhaps using a regular expression, and then it
can hit the database to look up the price.
Too difficult to use the database program yourself to look up the
price?
