BQ27742-G1: Internal Temperature Sensor

Part Number: BQ27742-G1

Can the bq27742's internal temperature sensor be used to sense cell temperature when the die is in contact with a Li+ battery?  Can it be read via the I2C interface?  Will it serve to protect the battery?

If so, can the TS input and thermistor be used to sense a different point in the device, e.g., a can motor casing?  How can this be done in an elegant manner?
