From an office add-in, Is it possible to get the location the office document was loaded from?

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to get the location a document has been loaded from, from within an office add-in?

I can get the host type and platform type but what I need next is the location

e.g.

• C:\someFolder\myDocument.docx
• \\folder1\folder2\myDocument.docx
• https://mysharepointsite.sharepoint.com/sites/mySite/DocumentLibrary/myDocument.docx

I can see in the documentation that there is a Interface Office.FileProperties that has a property called url. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/office/office.fileproperties?view=common-js but I have no idea where to retrieve this value from in the actual add-in code or if it will actually have the value I am after.

Any insight would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance
