Default Globally available defined names?

Hi all,

I was wondering whether there's any way for an add-in to define names (or
something similar) that would be available from other workbooks. For example,
I'd like to define "TAXRATE" as 0.08, and have it so that from any open
workbook, I can type =TAXRATE and get that number back.

I know something like this could be accomplished with a function -- i.e., I
could define a function called TAXRATE() in the add-in that just returns 0.08
-- but I'mspecifically looking for a way to avoid the parentheses when using
it (i.e. I'd like =TAXRATE not =TAXRATE()).

Any information would very helpful. Thanks.
