If the filetype of the image is a known format on the pc (like *.jpg or
somthing) then you could use the STRPCO function that communicates with
the user's Client Access session. It is CL, but you can easily wrap it
into your RPG program.

For example:
  /* start PCO on remote host and monitor if already active */
  STRPCO
  MONMSG     MSGID(IWS4010) 
  /* open document in remote session */
  STRPCCMD   PCCMD('\\yourserver\share\document.extension') PAUSE(*NO)
