'How do I invoke a postman-defined request within a postman pre-request script?

All examples I've seen of calling a REST API within a Pre-Request script use the http API pm.sendRequest().

I'd much rather 'submit' a request that is defined through the Postman UI. Then, the request details can easily be managed through the Postman UI and shared across multiple Pre-Request scripts.

Is there a Postman API to send/invoke a specific request item in a collection?

What you're looking for is postman.setNextRequest()
