Is there a mel command for enabling 'Multi Component Mode'

Question

The default function is to toggle between Object and Multi component mode, I would like to directly trigger both of these commands, rather than a toggle.

I think I have figured out how to trigger object mode, using selectMode :

selectMode -h;

But I was not able to figure out to trigger multi component, similar to the button on the modelling toolkit or the toggle hotkey. I tried a bunch of the lines the script editor spat out but no luck.

My goal is assign both functions to their own hotkey.

Is this possible?
