A way to call an Illustrator File/Script from another script?

If I have a script inside Illustrator's File/Script menu I would like to run from a script outside Illustrator.

The only code I found that might be related is:

app.executeMenuCommand("script name here?");

I'll take any examples in either VBscript or JavaScript. 

Thx,

Clutch

objApp.DoJavaScriptFile "path to JS file"

You can use the execute method under the File object, Not executeMenuCommand.

var f = new File("YOUR SCRIPT FILE PATH HERE");
f.execute();

    This doesn't work properly if the default application that the script is set to open in is anything but Illustrator (or whatever other Adobe app). I have my .jsx scripts set to open in Visual Studio Code by default when I click on them, which means doing

    f.execute();

     will just do exactly that and not actually run the script, instead of executing them in Illustrator like desired.

     

    I can't seem to find a way to force them to execute in Illustrator all the time.

    Update - Better way of calling other scripts:
