Default Can Excel do this with coding?

I have a question that I don't know if Excel can handle or not? The final
data entry Column on one of my spreadsheet is a "Comments" section. I use
that Column to enter a variety of client information such as (but not limited
to):

communications between clients and our agency
calls from counselors about our clients
comments regarding disruptive client interactions
reminders regarding action that needs to be taken on a particular client

There is no formula in this column and it is formatted for "general" data
entry. I've seen an Access program which has an "executable" CLICK ON
comments pop up field that can be directly linked to a clients name, and the
user can open a pop up window for reviewing, editing, or inputting additional
comments made. The comments can also be merged with MS Word for printing, as
many comments need to be put on paper for the purpose of a "hard copy" record.

My question is whether or not "coding" can create something similar to what
I described above (a macro button to click on which would open a window for
comments/notes) so I can remove the comments sections (from the two
spreadsheets within my workbook).

Any suggestions on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
