OBS Control Of External Active Software

PROBLEM: We have successfully been using OBS to stream our weekly worship services and appreciate the availability of such a powerful software package for no cost. We are also using an excellent 3rd party software package out of the UK for our worship music element of our services where we can setup playlists of music linked directly to the projected lyrics called I Sing Worship. To start and stop the playlist as needed throughout the service the producer has to leave the OBS environment (OBS remains open but ISW becomes the active software when the operator selects the resume softly on the screen). The main issue I am struggling with is we have recently started using the multi view plugin and love it but we have to leave the multi view monitor and transition to the ISW software to start and stop the play list. Some of our operators "lose" the curser during this transition (we have multiple monitors), which delays the music starting in a timely manner.

QUESTION: Is there anyway to start or stop the playlists inside OBS so the producer can stay inside the OBS environment to improve the flow. We are open to hotkeys for either software. ISW currently does not have a built in hotkey option for their software.
