There is no COM support built in. The COM ABI can be called from C by representing interfaces as structs of function pointers. Technically the same thing could be done from Julia, though putting it all together would take some work. If you are interested in working on this (which would be great!), I would suggest to start by getting familiar with how to represent C structs in julia, and how to call winapi functions (see example [1]). I'm on a phone and don't have links handy, but there are several tutorials online if you search for "call com from c". The idea would be to do the same thing in pure julia. See also the Python comtypes library which wraps com via libffi (built in to Python so no c compiler required).
