The Unisys addin may or may not store the exported file name someplace in the model ... I don't know. It's a bit of a long shot but you could export the XMI file, then save the model and search for the filename in the *.mdl file. If you find it, then they might have stored it under a property somewhere and you could then then retrieve that property. If you don't find it, you're out of luck.
If you don't mind the redundancy, you could add the menu option with a rosescript that calls the predefined dialog OpenFilename$() function. The user would have to respecify the file and you could filter out everything but *.xmi to help things along. From within RoseScript, you can call your bat file with the Shell command.
If you don't want to create your own add-in, you could just add your menu option to the rose.mnu file in the rose home directory. Everything stated here (except for the searching the model file for the XMI bit) is documented.
