Feature Request: Add Hyperlinks, Comments, Slide Notes, and Alt Text to PowerPoint JavaScript

Hi Microsoft Team,

I’d like to request the addition of key missing features in the PowerPoint JavaScript API that would greatly enhance its capabilities. Unlike Word and Excel, PowerPoint currently lacks methods to:

• Programmatically add hyperlinks to text and images.
• Insert and retrieve comments on elements.
• Add or modify slide notes to improve collaboration.
• Set alternative text for images to enhance accessibility.

These features are crucial for building advanced and accessible add-ins. They are already available in Word and Excel but are missing in PowerPoint, limiting automation and interactivity. Implementing these functionalities would bring PowerPoint to feature parity with other Office applications and unlock new possibilities for developers.

I hope Microsoft considers these improvements. They would make a huge difference for those of us developing PowerPoint add-ins.

Thanks for your time!

Best,
