To dig into that vtable, use ptr-ref.  Don't forget to pass the 
interface back to the method as its first parameter.

Following is untested.  Not even paren-balanced.

(let ((addref (ptr-ref pIdisp (_fun #:abi 'stdcall _com-interface -> 
_uint) 1))
        (release (ptr-ref pIdisp (_fun #:abi 'stdcall _com-interface -> 
_uint) 2)))
  (addref pIdisp)
  ...
  (release pIdisp))
