the project explorer gives me a good and quick overview for projects and details.

Thank you for your inquiry.

I think it would be great to see and get access to all objects assigned to a project from within a task or calender item or any other assigned object.

Latest version 3.5.1004 has PE in the Ribbon
You can now start Project Explorer from an Outlook Object's ribbon menu and/or start Windows Explorer. Each window opens onto the project's respective pointer, e.g. the selected project in Project Explorer, and the associated Windows folder for the selected project.
