Working with Kotlin companion object (for kotlin.time.Duration) in Matlab

I'm trying to create an instance of kotlin.time.Duration which represents 5 minutes. In Kotlin code I could write 5.minutes which, due to some helpful gyrations conducted behind the scenes, yields the duration expected. I am working from the assumption that Matlab doesn't understand Kotlin syntax and I have to help it figure out what methods to call on what objects.
The closest I have come so far is
>> javaMethod ('box-impl', 'kotlin.time.Duration', javaMethod ('minutes-UwyO8pc', kotlin.time.Duration.Companion, 5))
ans =
5m
which is pretty tremendously ugly and clumsy, but, still worse, depends on an automatically-generated method name minutes-Uwy08pc which can't be guessed without inspecting the jar file.
Is there a better way? Maybe I've overlooked something.

Hi Robert, probably there is no better way to interact with Kotlin from MATLAB.
As per the following documentation MATLAB provides external Interface only for the languages mentioned and not for 'Kotlin':
Thanks.
