Can I insert content add-in from VSTO add-in

Question

I have created to separate add-ins for Excel. One is a VSTO add-in (C#) an the other one is a content add-in (JavaScript/HTML) that vizualises data in a certain way. I would like to be able to insert a new instance of the content add-in directly from my VSTO add-in. For instance by a button in the custom ribbon. Is that possible?

For now, the only way I have found for inserting the content add in is through the 'My Add-ins' in the insert-tab in the ribbon.

No, it is not. There is no API for that.
