It's a pain. After writing umpteen tatty macros I gave up and used Python. Export your file as a psd and use Layers2png.py, read the file for some hints and note what to modify
Good luck -

try with the full path, this is for V1
start "" "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe"
edit-
the above command is for cmd, for powershell do
start "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe"
edit2:
create a new key in App Paths thus:

start photo works in cmd & PS, not for the faint hearted, don't edit the Registry if you're unsure

That particular image is 2.85MB as a heic, 3.7MB as a 90% jpeg. There's a saving but so what ?
I don't know if pdf's can include heic images, if you generate a pdf from Affinity then the image is embedded as jfif eg
%PDF-1.7 %����7 0 obj<</Subtype/Image/Width 1440/Height 960/BitsPerComponent 8/ColorSpace/DeviceRGB/Filter/DCTDecode/Length 8 0 R>>stream����JFIF
so we're back to jpeg
Handling new image formats is a moving target, I think Serif ought to concentrate on formats that can be used in browsers so avif would get my vote
Actually, I think Serif ought to concentrate on making guide colours changeable but maybe that's just me -
Affinity Photo & Publisher V1 can open HEIC files eg

If you need to manipulate the image in Photo for use in Publisher there are several suitable formats, I don't see the advantage of saving as HEIC, so it's a 'No' from me

I get 95.997889 mm if the document is 150dpi
Try the attached, look at the 0 in the ttext as curves, it's 150.001111 mm here

I don't have designer but if I draw some shapes in photo with the document dpi set to 96 then the sizes are pretty good
eg 1080x580mm becomes 1080.000944 x 579.998417 mm

This shows 228 images in picture frames on one page. All properties are set to 'Scale to minimum fit' - is this what you mean by constraints?
Image is 17kb
Attempting to replace all of them with 46Mb tif caused a crash, likewise if I use Resource Manager
However, replacing 72 frames took 5s, all properties remained at 'Scale to minimum fit'
I did it in stages, after each replacement there is a lot of disk activity so I waited for that to zero otherwise it would crash

Otherwise do just the resizing in the batch and use exiftool to change the dpi setting, eg
exiftool -Xresolution=96 -Yresolution=96 *.jpg

Photo has Macros and Batch Jobs which goes part of the way but is nowhere near as useful as PS actions
link to online help
https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/pages/Macros_Batch/macros.html
Macros cannot be assigned to a keypress and are essentially uneditable
Various commands can be assigned as keyboard shortcuts eg
Probably best if you use the free trial to establish if Photo can do what you need

I put the dic and aff files in a folder la_LA and it seems to workV1 folder is here

It's this
<pattern id="pattern2853" patternTransform="scale(2 1)" xlink:href="#Camouflage"/>
<pattern id="Camouflage" width="372" height="400" patternTransform="translate(0) scale(.2)" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<rect x="66" y="96" width="642" height="423" style="fill-rule:evenodd;fill:url(#pattern2853)"/>a bit too advanced for Affinity svg capablities. However, after a little surgery it's usable

It's all a bit odd
I noticed that this lens was missing when I trialed the V2 version back in November, thinking that the lensfun download had gone awry I wrote this query
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/172674-issue-with-the-lensfun-data-transfer-for-photo-v2-which-is-quite-recent-nov-2022/#comment-990704
I can't find a list of supported cameras/lenses later than 19 September 2022 but I'm staggered that it's not available in V2.1.1
I suspect that not many people with this lens use Photo for raw development, I certainly don't
Anyway, at least you're fixed
