Help Linking Email, Calendar, and Notes to Projects/Tasks in Shared Environment

This may be a pipe dream but I’d love to link my emails, calendars, and notes to my projects or tasks in a way that can be shared with others. I work in a team of 5 and it’s a nightmare to get on the same page for each task. When I joined the team we would all reply all in every conversation which is fine if you want to be in the loop but a total waste of time and attention when you’re only relevant 20% of the time. I got the team to use a centralized project management platform, which has made things better… but I’d love to treat the project as a hub and everything else as supporting that project. So I could quickly filter emails, meetings, and notes when catching up. I can link things through built in Mac tools but my team uses windows. Is there anything in the Microsoft world or any cross functional tool that can link those things?

I ended up keeping everything in Obsidian, but I stopped trying to manually organize it all. Emails become tasks only if they require action. Meetings get a note linked to the calendar event. Everything else stays as reference. I also use an AI agent (Hermes) to help me retrieve context later instead of trying to perfectly organize everything up front. That shift made the whole system much less stressful.
The thing that helped us was deciding what each item is allowed to become, not finding one magic app. I’d start with the project tool as the hub, then make email/calendar/notes point back to that hub only when they add real context.
Obsidian with the right plugins (like Tasks and Dataview) can actually handle this pretty well if you're willing to put in the setup work - emails and calendar events aren't native, but you can pull them in via automation tools like Zapier. That said, if you need tight integration out of the box, something like Notion or Tana might save you headaches.
