having an "externally" running application outside the IT-approved
norm (vs something "trusted"/"internal" like Excel) is currently a no-
go.

Is there any way to bridge the gap and allow this accessibility?

If you can still find one of those then you can use it.

Those two were just examples on what can be found.

With a little bit of luck more exist.
