Can the Office JavaScript API generate PowerPoint slide thumbnails?

I'm working on an Office Add-in for PowerPoint and need to display slide thumbnails in my interface, similar to those visible on the left pane when you open a PowerPoint presentation in "Normal" view. Is there a way to generate or retrieve these specific slide thumbnails directly using the Office JavaScript API? If this isn't possible using the API, are there any other recommended methods or alternative solutions to achieve this?
Appreciate any guidance on this matter!
