Open a windows 10 UWP app through a homemade exe

Is it possible to write a small program that would work like a .exe file for opening a Windows 10 UWP app?

My specific circumstance is this: Zotero allows me to set a non-default PDF viewer by pointing it toward where that application lives in windows explorer. Problem is, my desired app (Drawboard PDF) is only available from the Windows store, so it’s all sandboxed up – there’s no .exe file I can point to. There’s some discussion on this problem here, which says that you can start UWP apps from the command line, but no definitive solution. It seems like the issue could be solved if I could write a small program that mimics the expected behavior of an executable (ability to pass it a file path and open that file, specifically) that calls up Drawboard… but I don’t know enough to know if this is possible or how to do it.

Any advice?
