How to set a script as startup shortcut for Simulink project programmatically?

In MATLAB R2017a, is it possible to set a script as startup shortcut for Simulink project programmatically? I can do the same using Simulink project GUI by selecting Set Shortcut Action > Startup from context menu for the shortcut.

I have a process that generates Simulink project and want a way to switch to a specific directory in the project when the project is launched. I tried using RunAtStartup property only to find out that it is read-only.

Any pointers?

R2017b and higher versions seem to have addStartupFile() command line option which might be what I'm looking for... but for R2017a

The Simulink project is auto-generated via CI. I'm looking for a way to set up the start up action during the auto-generation process so that when users get it from server they can just launch the project and it would set up everything in MATLAB. I don't want users to make any changes to the project manually.
