Export Photon display?

Does anyone know if QNX 6.1/Photon is able to export it’s display like X?

In other words, if I want my X applications to pop up on host “foo”, I
can do:

export DISPLAY=foo:0.0

Is something like this possible with pure Photon apps?

If you want your Photon apps display on foo, you do:

photon_apps -s /net/foo/dev/photon

Unlike X, at least in Photon 1.X under QNX 4 you could actually move an
application from one Photon display server to to another. Is this jump gate
feature still available in Photon 2 under QNX 6.X?

In fact the application could display parts of itself across several servers
in a multi-monitor virtual display. My favourite demo was having pdoom be
displayed across four separate display servers.
