I haven't tried it for something like this, but there's a mobile app called Barcode to PC that sounds like it should work by virtue of its ability to send parameters following the barcode. I've used it for straightforward scanning which it did well, but that's about it. See https://barcodetopc.com/. It's free for personal use and its price for professional use starts at $37 which is a one time payment (who does that any more?). Note that there's a companion server app that's required for use (Windows and iOS).
