Is there any way to use the EVF on the M6 II while using off camera Flash?

I can confirm that the pop up flash does work as an optical trigger for an appropriate external flash. I use this for macro work with a small, inexpensive Meike MK320 flash. I set the M6ii flash to manual, minimum output, and the Meike to Manual S1 mode. That way I can use the EVF. No issues.
