Connect to SharePoint and outlook using Azure Service principal/managed identity

Question

I am new to Azure services and I am trying to replace the usage of a service account in my logic apps to connect to SharePoint and Outlook. I found in blogs that Azure Service principal/managed identity can be used here. I also understand that the SharePoint needs an user account to sign/connect. Can we connect to Microsoft Graph API using service principals which will in turn connect to SharePoint? Is there any way where i can use the service principals/managed identity to connect to SharePoint and Outlook in my Logic apps? Any help is much appreciated!

Currently, this is not supported but instead, you can try using an HTTP connector to connect your Microsoft Graph API using Azure AD or Azure functions and in the next step you can connect to your site using the Sharepoint connector. Below is somewhat how the flow looks like,
