How to access dropdown menu options with ExtendScript?

Are there any ways to retrieve dropdown menu options? For example, as a default,  AE adds ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"] as default options for the dropdown. How could they be retrieved? 

Due to the documentation, we have only setPropertyParameters method -  https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/properties/property.html#property-setpropertyparameters

      Can't access it directly yet unfortuantely. This issue has been requested several times, (How to access label of dropdown property? ).

       

      Best you can do for now is just use the index, or write your own table to lookup index by name, but you'll have to keep that in sync with your dropdown menu if you change it.
