Your analysis is correct but it is absolutely impossible to do it this way, even by using the developer's docs and by writing a command in Java. The reason is that: for now, you can write commands that act on the document loaded in XXE (tox.readAttribute) but you cannot write commands that act on the XXE application itself (tox.openFile). We'll try to enhance XXE in release 2.3 (released at the end of this month) to allow you to do that. We have always intended to do it but neglected to add it to the development schedule.
