Help needed to separate logic within lfrc

[DusanLesan]

Hi,
I want to separate parts of my open function in lfrc into separate functions so I can also create key maps for them and make code more readable.
This is my current open function:

cmd open ${{
	case $(file --mime-type "$f" -b) in
		image/*) devour nsxiv -aiop 2>/dev/null <<< "$fx" |
			(lf -remote "send $id unselect"
			while read -r file; do
				lf -remote "send $id select \"$file\""
				lf -remote "send toggle"
			done) ;;
		*/zip)
			mntdir="$f-archivemount"
			[ ! -d "$mntdir" ] && {
				mkdir "$mntdir"
				archivemount "$f" "$mntdir"
			}
			lf -remote "send $id cd \"$mntdir\""
			lf -remote "send $id reload" ;;
		text/*) $EDITOR $fx ;;
		*) for f in $fx; do setsid $OPENER $f >/dev/null 2>&1 & done;;
	esac
}}

I want to separate *zip case in its own command like

cmd open ${{
	case $(file --mime-type "$f" -b) in
		image/*) openimages;;
		*/zip) mountarchive ;;
		text/*) $EDITOR $fx ;;
		*) for f in $fx; do setsid $OPENER $f >/dev/null 2>&1 & done;;
	esac
}}

cmd mountarchive ${{
	mntdir="$f-archivemount"
	[ ! -d "$mntdir" ] && {
		mkdir "$mntdir"
		archivemount "$f" "$mntdir"
	}
	lf -remote "send $id cd \"$mntdir\""
	lf -remote "send $id reload"
}}

cmd openimages ${{
	devour nsxiv -aiop 2>/dev/null <<< "$fx" |
	(lf -remote "send $id unselect"
	while read -r file; do
		lf -remote "send $id select \"$file\""
		lf -remote "send toggle"
	done)
}}

How to actually call openimages and mountarchive?

I suppose you could just use lf remote, at least, that's what I do.

image/*) lf -remote "send $id openimages" ;;
*/zip) lf -remote "send $id mountarchive" ;;

Thanks. This does work. I will wait a bit before accepting answer since this feels like we call external process to get something in the app scope
