Actually after a little testing I have confirmed that this can and indeed does work as you desire.
Probably the simplest way to achieve an "Outlook Contact" template is with the following sequence:
1) Create a new web page "template" by dragging a valid web page url onto the Templates system Info Item.
2) Delete the Url attribute value.
3) Change the Template Name attribute and Item Title to suitable values ("Outlook Contact" and "New Outlook Contact" respectively??).
Now when you want to create a new Info Item based on this template, simply create a blank Info Item (with Insert or Tree | Insert Child) of this type, then manually assign the "Outlook Linker" url value and provide an appropriate valid Item Title.
Obviously this is not true "Outlook integration", we do have plans for more extensive Outlook support but this will accomplish your immediate request.
Note this same procedure should work for other Outlook data types as well (such as tasks, etc).
Note: the reason Ultra Recall behaves this way is that when a Info Item is created for a web page url, an internal doctype attribute value is assigned a value indicating that the content should be displayed in the internal browser view. When a valid "Outlook linker" url is later assigned, Ultra Recall doesn't know how to natively retrieve this url so it doesn't change this doctype value. Since the value is still configured for the internal browser view to display, the internal browser view (actually Internet Explorer) tries to open the url, which actually launches it externally in the associated application (in this case Outlook).
