Programmatic control of the instance after launch

"Is there any way we can control a jbrowse instance remotely after launching it [from Jupyter] - for example by having it listen on a websocket, or do long polls, then eval the responses (this seems like a huge hack but also arguably quick and powerful?)

Just seems annoying to relaunch the browser every time I want to navigate to a location specified by Python"
