Happy Thanksgiving, and a quick question

Happy Thanksgiving to all U.S. members of the List (and as to the rest, I hope you had a happy Thursday, and are having a happy Friday).
Is there by any chance a way, short of making all the files *USROPN, to wedge some code into an RPG program to alter the library list before the files open?
Case in point: a trigger program that accesses files that can't be qualified (because the code has to compile on a release that doesn't have EXTFILE), and aren't guaranteed to be on the library list.
If nothing else, would some sort of ILE CL "leader" module be possible, that would force the library list into the required shape, then call the RPG main with the unaltered trigger parameters? (I'm still not particularly up on what can and can't be done with ILE CL)
