We have used this commercial software to dial via our IP phones at my
office. It's about $10 a license IIRC.

If Outlook works anything like the KDE mail / news / calendar app Kontact, 
then you can specify a command to be run whenever a phone number is clicked 
on, and insert the number into the command by means of a placeholder.  
Ordinarily, this would simply launch a softphone client.

What we did to get Asterisk-integrated fuctionality in Kontact was simply set 
the "call" command to invoke wget and fire a CGI script on the
Asterisk box,
which generated a callfile.  The script knows the IP address from which it was 
invoked, and therefrom can determine the extension number of the nearest 
phone.
