You can use a power trunk lift (available from most street rod suppliers) that has a geared motor box & 2pc arm or you can set up brackets & a linear actuator to the center of the trunk to push open & pull closed.You eliminate the latch using these setups.You then use a remote unit such as the multichannel units designed for door poppers orpower locks.
I didn,t mention any brand names because prices are all over the place & some products such as AEW or Autoloc are not as good as they should be. I'm considering dakota digital for a quality remote unit to power my hood , bedcover , doors ,& a few other items. Here's my automation project, It really freaks people out at stoplights.
