I wouldn't know for sure but it would be unusual. Usually web services have some kind of client which can be launched independently from a web service.
When you are doing things via winrm, its my understanding that there is no interactive user session, meaning there's no gui associated with the commands being run. Not a problem for command line programs that communicate via stdout and stderr, but if you only have a gui then that's an issue. What are you trying to achieve? You could, for example use net send to send a pop up message to any logged on users who do have interactive sessions (and guis to look at).
