How can I programmatically open a palette from the Palettes menu? Is there a Front End token for this?

Motivation:

Certain settings for the palettes that are installed into standard locations and show up in the Palettes menu are stored in the "PalettesMenuSettings" global option (accessible through the Option Inspector or CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, "PalettesMenuSettings"]). These settings become active only if the palette is opened through the Palettes menu. If the palette notebook is opened directly (through the operating system's file manager or File -> Open...), then these settings do not take effect.

Use case:

I need to re-open the image uploader palette after it has updated itself. The upload history is stored in the "PalettesMenuSettings".
