How to create google doc tabs with the python sdk

Question

I’m trying to create a Tab in a google doc via the python SDK (as in the new(ish) side navigation/organizational tabs, not a tab character). I see how to read and update existing tabs, but don't see any mention of how to create a tab (or any callouts on that being a pending feature). Is it supported and just not well documented yet, or are Tabs new enough that this feature doesn't exist yet?

Searched documentation and couldn't find anything related to creating tabs:

• https://developers.google.com/docs/api/how-tos/tabs

• https://developers.google.com/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/documents/request
