Description
Description
Related to #1132, We need to add better support for App Level Token in @slack/web-api.
I'm thinking we either pass in App Level Token in the token property (this works today), or we introduce a new appToken property. If we introduce a new appToken property, we could add code to make certain api calls use appToken over token (which is usually a bot token). apps.event.authorizations.list & apps.connections.open currently require an App Level Token. Not sure if there are any other web-api methods that currently do.

Research direction
Start with the @slack/web-api package and review related issue #1132, then inspect how token options are handled for apps.event.authorizations.list and apps.connections.open. Define whether App Level Tokens use the existing token property or a new appToken property, identify any other affected methods, and confirm the chosen behavior for each required API call.
