How to convert trigger/event into Promise or async/await?

Thanks to Bergi's comment I am able to convert it to Promise.

factoryMethod(msgIn, msgOut) {                                                                                                                                                                                  
  return (ann)  => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {                        
    this.post(msgIn, ann);                                                                                                                                                                                      
    $(window).on(msgOut, (e, arg) => resolve(arg));                                                                                                           
  });                                                                                                                                                                                                           
}    

This returns a higher order function that returns a Promise.
