Using Google appscript to refresh tables pasted in from Google sheets into Google slides

问题

This question here has as succinct solution for updating Google Sheets charts linked to Google slides.

function onOpen() {
  var ui = SlidesApp.getUi();
  ui.createMenu('Custom Menu')
  .addItem('Batch Update Charts', 'batchUpdate')
  .addToUi();
}

function batchUpdate(){

  var gotSlides = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides();

  for (var i = 0; i < gotSlides.length; i++) {
    var slide = gotSlides[i];
    var sheetsCharts = slide.getSheetsCharts();
    for (var k = 0; k < sheetsCharts.length; k++) {
      var shChart = sheetsCharts[k];
      shChart.refresh();
    }
  }
}

I wish to do the same thing but with a table pasted into Google Slides from Google Sheets. I can't see how this would look in the AppScript API for Google Slides. Can someone point out a way forward?

I found this workaround in the issuetracker link provided by Leo as a comment to OP on Oct 30 '18:

"If anyone is reading this who wants the feature, one solution is to create a "table chart" in your sheet, from your existing table (that you were trying to link/update). It doesn't allow you to copy and paste from Sheets to Slides, but within Slides if you go to Insert -> Chart -> From Spreadsheet, then choose your sheet and chart (table). You can then use app scripts to automatically update it, as you can with a chart."

First you can use a similar variable as

var sheetsTables = slide.getTables() 

and then use a for() loop to update each table in each slide. However, I don´t know which method you can use. If you know of one, please share.
