Is it possible to use the COM server tools to get an excel figure info/data.handle for re-plotting in matlab?

Basically the way I do this now is by reading the raw data from excel and re-plotting into matlab. but since that data is scattered over many worksheets and it is quite tedious to locate the data of interest, I was hoping to have matlab get the excel figure handle and all associated data so I could simply plot it into matlab.

I think this would be a useful matlab feature to have, since many times we prefer to convert Excel data into matlab figure for a more professional presentation.
