Is the there a way of getting a list of reference files that are attached to a given design file without loading the deign files using a Java API?

I would like to retrieve all reference files from a PID file. Using command prompt -wref open microstation text window, from there it is not possible to read the output from Java desktop application. Anyone can give me any idea to get those reference file list in a Java desktop application. Any reference to vbscript also help.
