Allow to get selected text of email in Outlook

Currently we have a lot of users still on the COM add-in, because it's not possible to get the selected text in Outlook. Currently, our COM add-in extends the text-selection right click menu ribbon and then uses the selected text for creating tasks in a third party task system (Jira).

Having users manually adjust this based on the full email body is extremely clumsy.

 

Best case: Add UI extension point for selected text (where Copilot currently lives as well):

Still good, but less ideal: Just a method to get the selected text from the current item, without any UI support.
