Shell Stuff

I was wondering if it''s possible to intercept shell messages/notifications, possibly using windows hooks or whatnot. The reason I ask is that I want to create a utility that, when run, iterates through all the tray icons, and then creates a context menu that contains all those icons, and then removes them from the tray. It then intercepts all calls to the notification area and instead of adding an icon to the system tray, it adds another menu item to the context menu, and does the same for removing icons, etc... Anybody know if this is possible?
