Outlook add-ins are run under the context of Outlook items only, so you have got access to a particular Outlook item only. Here is what MSDN states for that:
Outlook activates some types of add-ins if the message or appointment that the user is reading or composing satisfies the activation rules of the add-in. This is true for all add-ins that use the 1.1 manifest schema. The user can then choose the add-in from the Outlook UI to start it for the current item.
Also you may be interested in the event based action which is still not fully released to public (still in preview), see Configure your Outlook add-in for event-based activation for more information.
Finally, you may also post your suggestion to the Microsoft 365 Developer Platform tech community page.

I have a question about the office add-in, especially outlook, I didn't find the answer in the documentation, but I would like to get an update on this question: Is it possible to automatically open the manifest taskpane installed in office when starting the application? Is it possible programmatically with office js?
OfficeJS (Office JavaScript API) doesn't provide any property or method for that. There is no way to open a task pane programmatically in Outlook web add-ins. Task panes can be opened by a ribbon button or by clicking on the notification message link. There is no currently any way to set up a task pane to be opened automatically at startup in Outlook.
You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team go through the planning process. Use the github label: Type: product feature request at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions .
I want to create a outlook add-in for reading the attachments to the add-in and list the attachments to it. Then I want to store those attachments on the Azure Blob Storage. If it is possible?
Yes, that is possible.
First of all, you need to decide what kind of add-ins you need to develop for Outlook - COM or Web based add-ins. If you need to support only Outlook for desktop on Windows then your choice is VSTO, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook for more information. For Outlook web add-ins Build your first Outlook add-in.
Both kind of add-ins allows running a task pane in Outlook with all the required information of attached files (or items).
With Office WebAddins, specific Outlook WebAddin, in manifest is possible to define taskpanel or button inside Contact? As i how in documentation is only in email read, compose and appointment.
Thanks.
Currently web add-ins work under mail and appointment items only. See Outlook add-in manifests for more information.
If you need to get a greater extensibility model in Outlook you may consider creating a VSTO based add-in with a custom ribbon UI, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook.
Does anyone know about the possibility to add a custom control in outlook calendar UI using web add-in? e.g. Show a radio button in calendar for if the user installed the web add-in.
I try to develop a Outlook Add-Ins (pure js/html app), not an VSTO / COM app with c#.
I found a way to add a button to the ribbonbar, but it seems to be only for Outlook 2016: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/mt267546.aspx
But, is there a way to add a button in the ribbonbar for Outlook 2013?
Can't find anything even on dev.outlook.com...
You need to develop a COM add-in then (VSTO). See Walkthrough: Creating Your First VSTO Add-In for Outlook for more information.
There are two main ways for creating a custom UI in VSTO add-ins:
Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab by Using Ribbon XML
Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab by Using the Ribbon Designer
Moreover, your ribbon commands can be displayed for Exchange profiles only (where Office Apps can be run). But COM add-ins are run for all kind of profiles in Outlook.
