Looking for Outlook API that works in the same way as 'SearchREsults.item.select' for Office API or 'WordEditor' for VSTO

Question

I'm working on office Add-in for Outlook and need to select the text in the body of the message.

Here is the way how it's can be done with

1. word/excel Office API -searchResults.items[0].select('Select')
2. VSTO -mailItem.GetInspector.WordEditor.Application()

Could you please advice the way to implement the same functionality, but using Outlook API or any other way that can be used in Outlook office add-in?

You can use item.getSelectedDataAsync API. The link is below
