Description

One approach for integrating Alexa (#2934) requires the user to provide Alexa's response via a response to a message like:
myRole script pic (12)

However, this requires the browser to be able to route messages to services on the netsblox server. It may be useful to add support for a blocking sendMessage function on the RemoteClient class.

Research direction

Start with the linked src/server/services/remote-client.js RemoteClient class and review the Alexa integration context in the issue. Determine how browser messages should be addressed to server services or RPCs and whether a blocking sendMessage operation fits. The issue does not specify completion criteria, so those requirements need clarification before implementation.
