Is it possible to refresh an access token without requesting user login? #70

Using adal.js with implicit flow it is possible to refresh the obtained access token (without a refresh token) and thus prolong the user session without requiring user login. This is possible until the Azure AD session cookies expire. Is this possible with office-js-helpers? I would like to keep the user logged in as long as possible.

I haven't implemented hidden iframe refresh. Perhaps you could send a PR for the same? Else i'll have to put this on the backlog.

Any updates? I also want to implement same feature. Currently I am using MSAL js with add-in, which have one method "acquireTokenSilent" for automated renewal of token, but I want to use office-js-helpers as it is more compatible for add-in.
