Add Outlook to Share Menu (Extensions)
Have Outlook 2016 added to the Share Menu (under Extensions) in System Preferences. It's easier to have applications share anything to Microsoft Outlook. Example the Photos app.

TOTALLY WORKS!!!! TY!!!
Courtesy of David Ellis... this WORKS!
1. In MAC Application Automator create a new Quick Action
2. At the top right, make sure you select that the "Workflow receives current" is set to selected ‘Files or folders’ in ‘Finder’.
3. From the left Action menu, search for Run Applescript and drag that to the window on the right. (it is under Utilities in MAC Catalina OS)
4. For the script, replace the purple text by copying and replacing it with the following:
on run {input, parameters}
set SelectedItems to input
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message
tell newMessage
repeat with aFile in SelectedItems
make new attachment with properties {file:aFile}
end repeat
end tell
open newMessage
get newMessage
activate
end tell
return input
end run5. Then save (File->Save). The name of the file will be the name in the Finder right-click menu! (I used: ‘Attach to Outlook Automator workflow’)
6. Done.
When you go to Finder, select one or more files, and then right-click. Go to "Services" and should see ‘Attach to Outlook e-mail’ within that sub-menu.

How do we get automator to do this from within the share (up arrow) when viewing the file ? I don't want to have to find it in finder and right click.

I can't believe this is missing. What a poor integration into MacOS really.

Really disappointing. They can open source Powershell but won't add a simple Outlook to the Share Menu.

If I can do it on my iPhone, I should be able to do it on my Mac.

Absolutely essential if you want mac users to continue using Outlook rather than switching to any number of mail options with a share feauture
