How can I send a command to remotely open a show file on an ION?

Everywhere I looked everyone says it’s not possible but the iRFR app has the capability. (So worst comes to worst, i’ll just packet capture and use that but I was hoping for a cleaner solution) any ideas?

I’m working for a small theatre that doubles as a movie theater and our movies are mostly automated by QLab. Currently I have QLab WOL the ION and load a cue list that fires off cues (over OSC) for the preshow, previews, film and post film. My problem is that when we are not running movies, other techs have a bad habit of not opening up another show file and then they make changes. So what i’m trying to do is, start the ION, open the Movie file and then at the end of the film it opens our default show file and then shuts down the system.
