.adv file loaded into Ableton from Max For Live

Hi, I'm working on a patch that requires an Ableton Audio Effect to be loaded in simultaneously when a pattr storage loads in a .json file.
Does anyone have any suggestions? just a standard way of loaded in an effect would be enough for me and i could make it work.
Thanks
Zach

Like how this person is able to load an effect straight onto the effect rack

There's no API to do this. I'm assuming (since it says it needed an update for Apple Silicon) that it is using [shell] external to open the files in Ableton using something like (on macOS):

open -a "Ableton Live 11 Suite" "/path/to/some/Device.adv"

Ohh okay, i see. Hmmmm is there any object to just access the file directories? Even if i could load the file into max i could work around it
