Is there an API in Thunderbird Webextensions to create a MailAccount yet?

I need to create a WebExtension which automates the setup of a MailAccount, however I cannot find an API for it. It seems staggering that there wouldn't be one, this is perhaps the single most basic thing I can think of for an extension to do, but here are the docs: https://webextension-api.thunderbird.net/en/latest/accounts.html and it doesn't seem to be in there. Is there a way to achieve this or is such a feature on the roadmap?

If it is your intention to code an addon, then you will want to be on https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/addons - it will be a good place to ask your question, if it isn't already answered there.
