Extracting Excel Files from a OneNote Notebook

Hello all,
I'd like to gather all the Excel file attachments from my OneNote notebook, which were initially in my Outlook and added to OneNote via drag and drop. Instead of searching for these files individually in Outlook or manually copying and pasting from my OneNote notebook, I want to extract all the Excel attachments and save them in a specified folder. Is it possible to accomplish this with Power Automate? It needs to search all the sections in my notebook and extract all the excel files to a specified folder and need to do this everytime an excel file is dropped in the notebook. I know that there is limited functionality here, but if there is another workaround using python scripts and OneNote APIs. This is my work notebook not personal.
