Can Monarch COM Automation be used with Data Prep Studio

Hello All:

I am a long time user of Monarch (currently running ver 2022.1.1), using COM automation in stand alone pc environments.  I am starting to utilize Data Prep Studio and love the powerful data analytic functionality that DPS addes to Monarch Classic.  Since we are not using Monarch Server, I would like to know:

1. Can DPS workspaces can be executed using Monarch COM automation, and relatedly,
2. Can COM automation be utilized to build "Excel VBA / COM / DPS" solutions in the stand alone pc environments

If the above is possible, where might if find documentation or other learning materials for the same.

Appreciate you help in advance.
