Is there a way to access the new Google Docs action items through the drive’s API?

Question

The Drive API allows you to access comments and changes to documents, but I don’t see any new action items in the help documentation .

Is there a way to perform any of the standard CRUD operations: get a list of them, get their properties, add new ones, change them, etc.

I'm really interested in doing this through Google Apps Script, but I understand that even comments are only available in the Drive API, so I suspect there is a way to do this through the Drive API first.
