Can I get 'big waveforms' on the XD-700 when 'linked' as a controller of Rekordbox in Perf mode!?

I apologize if asked elsewhere but I can't find a clear answer!

I want to use my XDJ-700's as controllers of Rekordbox. I know it's a weird thing, but I do this for certain parties where I want to have access to a keyboard for searching broadly for all sorts of weird stuff, requests, etc -  and be able to 'push' tracks to the XDJs that way (It's just way nicer and faster than using the small and limited touchscreen on the XDJ). Of course this is exactly what you can do using the XDJ as a controller!

However, the default under this HID (I think?) connection is that there are NO 'big waveforms' visible on the XDJs. This maybe isn't so bad for most people because it is expected they have the computer right behind or next to the XDJs and they can see the 'big waverforms' on that nearby computer.

I have a very compact coffin-based turntable setup that I use in small places and don't set my computer right behind/next to the XDJs - so I can't view the 'big waveforms' on the computer and can't mix/perform well without seeing them.

So, in response, I just use the XDJs as reguklar players and use the RB link via ethernet to have access to my whole collection (which is nice...) and just deal with the 'minimalist' touchscreen search on the XDJs... but I don't get that 'push to player' functionality, which is a bummer.

The obvious question: Is there ANY way to get the big waveforms visible on the XDJ-700 when using them as controllers of Rekordbox Performance in 'link' mode? Is there perhaps a MIDI mode hack or a way to use ethernet instead of USB that provides 'big waveforms'???

THANK YOU,
