Please add functionality to open TaskPane dynamically in Outlook Web Add-ins

Please add functionality to open TaskPane dynamically in Outlook web add-ins from these supported events Configure your Outlook add-in for event-based activation - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn.

I would suggest implementing one of the following - Office.context.ui.openContainer() or Office.addin.showAsTaskpane() (doesn't work in Outlook)

Microsoft has taken a new opinionated approach on Outlook Add-ins. They want to give them the least amount of control possible and they don't want developers developing robust applications with them. They are meant to complement the experience like frosting on a cake.
