Exotic Ribbon Customization?

[aquixano]

Is it possible to customize the Excel 2010 ribbon through VBA or Excel itself to do either of the following:

Include the equivalent of a warning light/ text box that you could tie to the status of a defined Excel VBA processes like EnableEvents? Currently I have a macro that will pop-up a msgbox with the EnableEvents status when clicked, but I’d prefer it just display either “off” or “on.”

Somehow link to a cell in a worksheet so that the cell value would show on the Ribbon? I would like to see the daily value of a cell without having to open the workbook.
I’ve looked through the ribbon options and searched on the internet and haven’t found anything close, so I’m assuming it’s not possible, but thought I’d throw the question to the experts in this group.

Appreciate any help
