Since you want to create an application anyway, you could do a wrapper that emulates this terminal command.

P.S.: instead of typing the path, don’t forget you can use drag&drop from the file browser.

The MBS plugin can interact with the Services menu (so, even without the plugin, it should be doable, but harder). Not sure whether your app must be kept open or is launched on demand nor how this works. Not even sure it would work on Sierra, but you may try (I don’t use Sierra myself).
