Panasonic Image App - zoom controls when using Power Zoom lenses?

I want to be able to use my G7 as a camcorder.

I had an echat with Panasonic support where the question was, using the G7 with a Power Zoom lens, can I control the wide/telephoto setting of the lens using Image App?

The answer I was given was no. The way the session went, I am not very confident that I communicated the issue well enough to get a good answer.

I would love to buy the 14-42, attach it to my G7, put it on top of a tall tripod and squint at my tablet (as the camera will be out of reach) and be able to zoom in and out.

I'm hoping there is logic in the Image App, that will see that there is a power zoom and allow me to use it. I don't currently have a Power Zoom lens to test with.

Thoughts?

Thank you.
