Why isn't SupportsNoItemContext supported in office 365 add-ins?

The SupportsNoItemContext property for the ShowTaskpane Action isn't in the online specification (linked below) but works fine on the local outlook client. In fact I can't find a reference to it anywhere on the internet and only found it looking at the Insights plugin installed in my Outlook.

Because its not in the online specification I cannot upload it to our office 365 admin to push out to users.

I'm trying to allow a task pane to be opened when no item is selected and this is the only way I can find that allows it.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_file_formats/ms-owemxml/8e722c85-eb78-438c-94a4-edac7e9c533a

Example:

 <Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
     <SourceLocation resid="DFA16BE7917A23C52030E8311AF8C22F" />
     <SupportsPinning>true</SupportsPinning>
     <SupportsNoItemContext>true</SupportsNoItemContext>
 </Action>
