Is there any egde webdriver documentation about preferences?

Question

I am currently trying to create cross-browser automated tests with Geb but I cannot find any documentation about preferences with Edge. What I am trying to do is to set up my Edge environment to automatically download documents and save them in downloads/edge. I have done this way for chrome and firefox:

customChrome {
    driver = {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", new File ("Drivers/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe").getAbsolutePath())
        Map<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>()
        chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", new File("downloads/chrome").getAbsolutePath())
        chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false)
        chromePrefs.put("plugins.always_open_pdf_externally", true)
        ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions()
        opt.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs)
        new ChromeDriver(opt)
    }
}

customFF {
    driver = {

        FirefoxProfile myProfile = new FirefoxProfile()

        myProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false)
        myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false)
        myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
        myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", new File("downloads/firefox").getAbsolutePath()) // my downloading dir
        myProfile.setPreference("services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false)
        myProfile.setPreference("browser.download.useDownloadDir", true)
        myProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf, image/jpeg")

        myProfile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true)

        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", new File("Drivers/GeckoDriver/geckodriver.exe").getAbsolutePath())
        new FirefoxDriver(myProfile)
    }
}

I used this source file to get chrome's prefs and this webpage for getting those of firefox but I cannot find anything similar for Edge. Does Microsoft provides any info about this ? Please share any info you may have.

I'm not sure if things have changed since, but according to this answer IE doesn't use profiles and is therefore unable to download files to a specific location.
