How to access Rename Tool from backend?

Hi,

The import-csv feature of the bench is simply awesome, it resolves the major problem of time outs.
For those who need to know about this feature can refer https://kb.frappe.io/kb/administration/import-large-csv-file

Now similarly the rename tool when accessed from the front end would time out if the master or transaction to be renamed is linked to a lot of transactions. I am facing a similar predicament where I need to rename around 9k items of which some items are linked to 1000’s of items and when I try to rename such items then the system times out.

Hence I am looking for a way to access the rename tool via backend so that the time out issue can be bypassed or resolved. Now I know its not possible in current scenario out of the box but I would like to know if I could make a custom python script using the current frappe commands so that the issue can be resolved.
