Select target platform for Office Add-in

Hi everyone. I have a feature request:

User Story

as an Office Add-in developer of own custom WOPI implementation (CSPP program) I need a possibility to specify a target platform(s) in the Add-in manifest, so I don't have to support Office Desktop and Office for Mac, as CSPP does not support desktop applications anyways.

                                                                                               

Explanations

For the moment we are stuck in the middle. Our WOPI implementation allows us to open Office files out of our web application with Office for the Web. We developed and Add-In to work with those documents. We cannot not certify our Add-In in Microsoft, because Microsoft tests Add-In againt Office Desktop and Office for Mac. We cannot switch off support for Desktop this, as it is not possible. But we cannot support Desktop, as it is not possible with custom WOPI implementations. 

 

Our Add-in is context aware and context dependent. One cannot just load it with any file opened in the desktop application.
