How to open a specific file in VirtualBox from the host Linux system?

There is Linux, KDE4, Rosa Desktop Fresh R6. It has an Oraclebox. In Orakleboks costs Windows XP (the version of Windows is not basic). Windows has Photoshop CS6.
You need to make sure that when opening .psd files, the file opens in Photoshop installed in the virtual machine. How to associate this file type with the command to start a specific virtual machine is clear. But then the VM with Photoshop will simply open, but the desired file will have to be opened manually.
Can you tell me if this can be configured? Thank you.

You need to make a script handler on the host and a listener on the guest. The second will listen to the socket, and the first will give it a command.
Both scripts will be 10 lines long on some Node.js and will be implemented in 10 minutes.

Probably need to read VirtualBox's command line options. If there is such an opportunity (to pass the parameter inside, and even to a specific program - which is doubtful), then it should be indicated there ....
