How to silently export all Fusion360 files linked to my account?

I'd like to write an add-in that continuously exports all my Fusion360 data files as f3d archives.

 

It seems like one way to do this is to get all the DataFiles associated with each account, open each using "app.documents.open(),"  and export each file using the "app.activeProduct.exportManager" object.

 

However, is there any way to export all these files without opening them in the main window? I'd like to run this as a background thread in Python, and I'd like to not disturb the current fusion360 model I'm working on.

Hopefully you have this solved by now but just in case: the documents.open method has a visible parameter. Set it to false and the document will not be visible in the application window.
