Description

It is not yet supported because it is not able to create HandoffMessage, however, to support it should be easy, just follow the same implementation as in AssistantAgent when it comes to creating handoff tools.

Research direction
Examine the implementation of handoff tools in `AssistantAgent` (likely in `autogen/agentchat/assistant agent.py`) and replicate the same pattern in `OpenAIAssistantAgent` to support `HandoffMessage`. The related discussion in issue #5495 provides additional context and may contain guidance from maintainers.
