How to Add Custom Option in MS Word File Menu by Office Addin using manifest.xml
How can we add a custom option in "File Menu/Tab" by custom "Office Addin"?
I can find how to add "Control" in an office tab using "ExtensionPoint". But I am unable to find how can we add a custom option in "File Menu". Following are the documentation links I have gone through.

The Backstage UI can't be customized with web add-ins. See Add-in commands for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word for more information about possible customizations.
Feature requests on Tech Community are considered, when the dev team go through the planning process. Use the github label: “Type: product feature request” at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions .
FYI these customizations are possible using COM add-ins, so you may also consider creating a VSTO based add-in instead, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook.
