Is there a reliable way to open a specific bloomberg terminal page programmatically (e.g. "MSFT Equity")?

I am open to any suggestions and code samples:

Start process with path to bloomberg terminal executable and ticker in the arguments
Bloomberg API
DDE
COM Automation
~~SendKeys~~ (can be blocked by some antivirus software)
...

Many thanks

A small point to note here is in

<blp-1><home>MSFT US<EQUITY><GO>DES<GO>

blp-1 is basically blp- + (window number -1)

so if you want to target BLOOMBERG-3 use blp-2 (3-1 = 2)
