TFS & Outlook add-ins

Integration of Team Foundation Server work items into the Outlook user experience continues to be a popular area for innovation.  Just recently an author sent me mail about a new one called Wit-It! that enables work item forms to be easily opened from TFS work item change notifications.  It's not entirely unlike configuring links to Team System Web Access from event notifications but it uses local rich client UI that some will like better.

There are several other Outlook extension offerings out there with varying levels of completeness.  If it's an area that iterests you, you can also check out:

TeamExpand

TeamLook

TeamCompanion

And I appologize if I left any out.  As I say, clearly there is a lot of interest here and some creative people.

In the teamlook outlook product there is a "Dynamic Querying inside Outlook" function to make querys on large amounts of work items.

Do you know of any such function which is web based or best an exstension to tfs web access?

Do you know what the "Dynamic Querying" feature actually does? I'm not sure so I can't say if I know of an alternative.

"Dynamic query" gives me a tree like navigation on any combination of fields.

What I want is to be able to navigate a tree.

"area path"

    "sprint"

        list of item's

Much like the report in tfs web "Product Backlog Composition" but there I can't click an item after.
