Can task pane bars insert iFrame elements into Powerpoint Online?

I've looked at the Office Dev Center and Napa documentation, but this is still unclear to me. This link:

http://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/overview/office-add-ins

Has a "Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Add-ins that extend functionality" section with task bars and a "Excel and PowerPoint add-ins that create new objects" section, implying that task bars do not create new objects; is this the case?

I think the "iframe" you're describing is a "content add-in", which is a rectangular control than goes on the slide canvas and can show your HTML/JS UI. It's not possible to insert these from a button on the task pane today. If you need this kind of "iframe", simply write a content add-in: your users can insert as many instances of this content add-in as they want per slide.

If you need a task pane and web content in the slide today, then it's necessary to write (and ship) two separate add-ins: one for the task pane "shape" and the other for the content "shape".
