Allow Officejs to open external excel workbook programatically
There should be a way to open a external excel workbook by providing URL for that file on excel online via officejs. so that user can open a template stored on some other server which contains desired formatting and named-ranges which can be modified on Excel Online

Couldn't agree more. We currently develop addins for the entire Office suite (using .NET and VSTO) that enable users to load/save documents to/from a 3rd-party content management system. We would love to provide this same functionality using Office.js but have hit this wall. Please add!

The same should be possible with saving the file.
