From what I know it can’t be done But you could do it this way, In the psjs file you call an action, in the action you put the link to the .jsx file

It was possible to achieve in this way, but it does not have future potential, so I recommend to write everything in UXP.
```auto
// main.psjs

const { localFileSystem } = require('uxp').storage ;
const { app, core, action } = require('photoshop') ;
const jsxFile = await localFileSystem.getEntryWithUrl('/Users/username/Desktop/alert.jsx') ;
const token = await localFileSystem.createSessionToken(jsxFile) ;
try {
await core.executeAsModal(async () =>
{
await action.batchPlay(
[
{
_obj: 'AdobeScriptAutomation Scripts',
javaScript: {

},
{
commandName: 'ExtendScript',

} catch(e) {
await app.showAlert(e) ;
}
```
```auto
// alert.jsx
alert("Hello") ;
```
