I don’t recall if this should work with RDI.exe or not. 
Can I pass a local PC file name and have RDI open it directly the same way I can with other editors ?

Input appreciated.

No - not possible at the moment. 

I created an IBM idea for that use case a while ago (2021):
But it's still on "Future consideration" and I don't think, that we will see it.

Thanks Daniel.

The only editor I can’t hook up to my Work with IBMi Windows PDM app.
