How can I insert or get content control, Outlook Web Add-in JavaScript?

Question

In the Word Web Add-in I can insert a content control by context.document.getSelection().insertContentControl() and get all of them by context.document.contentControls how can I do that in Outlook Web Add-in?

Content Controls are exclusive to Word. Outlook uses either HTML or plain text.

That's correct. In case you want to access or update the content of the message. There are some APIs referenced here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/…

So can't I cast Outlook document to Word document like I can do in VSTO .net? example:

var inspector = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector(); var item = (MailItem)inspector.CurrentItem; var document = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document)inspector.WordEditor; var range = document.Application.Selection.Range; var rng = (object)range; var contentControl = document.ContentControls.Add(WdContentControlType.wdContentControlRichText, ref rng);

No, that isn't possible.
