Provide "Paste Link" Functionality in C# Winforms App

I would like to add Copy-Paste Link functionality to an application. The application replaces a complex Excel workbook. I would like to be able to copy tables, text, and charts from the application and use Paste Link in MS Word.

For the uninitiated:
With Excel, when you use Paste Link for the tables, text, charts, etc. the items update in Word when you change them in Excel.

Does anyone know for sure if this is/is not possible (is it some proprietary feature of MS Word-Excel)? If not, can anyone point me to some resources that will help (either an app that does this or a tutorial/write-up).

Thanks!

+1  A: 

second try in a blog found here (very much untested).

This example is for an application which consumes the OLE content. I want to learn how to provide the content.I did a search on answers.com for "object linking and embedding" and interestingly enough found the same article as on wikipedia.

Thanks for the link. This is exactly the type of thing I am looking for. Trying to paste link (in MS Word) gives me an error message, but at least I know what is involved (and how much in over my head I am!!). The author's blog has some other related info as well. Now I have to dig into the code!
