PHPword: insert chart in template

[clab8]

I'm trying to modify a template with text and charts. How can I insert chart in my template as text value like this?

$templateProcessor = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor('TemplateReport.docx');
$categories = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E');
$series1 = array(1, 3, 2, 5, 4);
$chart = $section->addChart('doughnut', $categories, $series1);
$chart->getStyle()->setWidth(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::inchToEmu(5.5))->setHeight(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::inchToEmu(5));
$templateProcessor->setValue('chart', $chart);
$templateProcessor->saveAs('filename.docx);

'TemplateReport.docx' file contains ${chart} string

The ->setValue is just doing a text replace. I do not believe it is currently possible to insert an element in a template.

As it is written in the doc:

It is not possible to directly add new OOXML elements to the template file being processed

I know, but I found how to insert image (Add/Insert/Replace image in templates #550) and how to insert a table (Replace or add an table on a templates #271) in template, nothing on charts.

Is there a way to do it?

Indeed, I guess this would have to be implemented. I haven't really had a look at the "reading" part of PHPWord but this feature looks very basic to me. Even the sample messes up the final document pretty badly. :-(
