Any command line switches for Propeller.exe tool to specify Serial port?

Hello,
I've been working on a couple projects that contain multiple propeller chips. When working on them I usually have two instances of the Propeller tool up and each one manually configured to the specific serial port that each Propeller is connected to. In order to do this I have to bring up the second instance and then manually select the serial port for the 2nd propeller chip. Are there any command line options to specify what serial port should be used? If so I can just make up separate icons on my desktop for each Propeller that can specify what port to use. That would save me a lot of time.
Best Regards,
Robert

using propellertool and bst or maybe bst has such an option?
Maybe it is possible to use autohotkey here. I use it for several things. Autohotkey can retrieve a lot of information about running applications (names of the application names of buttons etc. So it might be possible to determine that propellertool window that has opened a certain file and then send keystrokes to this propellertool configuring the COM-port. Learning the script language of autohotkey takes a while but if you do things repeatedly very often it might be useful
keep the questions coming
