Get otvdm (aka winevdm) to run 16-bits applications automatically

Question

I am working on the a project that requires me to run a Makefile which calls on several 16-bit .exe scattered in my F drive. I have looked into using otvdm (aka winevdm) to run the 16-bit applications though I am looking for a way to get them run to automatically when a called on. The current setup of otvdm is having manual selection from the user. What I want is when a 16-bit application is called, it would use otvdm to run the application without me getting involved. Looking for ideas to do this or work around it?

My 64-bit Windows 10 OS rejects any 16-bit applications from running.
