Is there a command line interface for the Open Studio App UI.

I'm aware of the CLI to calculate an OpenStudio model. But I'm working on an interface that may require the use of the OpenStudio application UI, to view defaults etc.

I have experimented with just calling the OpenStudioApp.exe, and passing it a file name as a parameter which works and opens the expected file. But if for example I'm after opening a model, and setting the UI to be on something specific, is there any support for this.

For example programmatically I can set a setpoint heating schedule for a model, but would like to be able to fire up the application, have the appropriate tab open up, and for it to have the chosen heating Set point schedule on screen. I Cant find any documentation on this.

I can use shellexecute etc to start it up and open a file, but not in specific tab or area of the UI thereafter?
