Maybe this thread helps? https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/passing-arguments-to-the-jsx-file-fro...

It was written for Photoshop but seems similar logic should apply. You'd use appRef.doScript(...

You can either build a JavaScript file and use filepath as an argument for the DoScript or pass contents of the JavaScript code as a String variable - put the value(s) of your arguments directly in the JS code.
