How to get itemId of the item you are replying/forwarding to using Office-JS

Is there a way to get the itemId of the item you are replying/forwarding to in compose mode using the Office-JS library or EWS? I want to be able to get the itemid of the email or meeting invite that I am replying/forwarding.

OfficeJS doesn't provide anything for that. Basically your add-in is run under the context of a specific item in Outlook (currently selected). The best what you could do is to use EWS by calling Office.context.mailbox.makeEwsRequestAsync or Graph API (for Office365 users). You may take a look at the EWS - Determine if an e-mail is a reply or has been forwarded thread, you are interested in getting the In-Reply-To field. Note that In-Reply-To is an optional field so it may not always be populated.
