The PowerPoint JavaScript API currently provides only a limited set of accessible properties for the PowerPoint.Hyperlink object, specifically address and screenTip.

- Use VBA or VSTO add-ins if you need immediate access to SubAddress.
- For Office.js, you can only manipulate external links (address) and tooltips (screenTip).

Thank you for the prompt response! I'm aware that the property doesn't exist. I am asking for an update to the object to include it. I want users in my company to be able to use my add-in as a self sufficient thing. I would prefer to avoid a scenario where my support app needs its own support app.
