Unless there is some kind of light socket that has a built in receiver of some sort that would turn on the light.

Yes, you would need to do that for any scheme.
There are commercial products that make this pretty easy, typically controlled by WiFi.
Including some that are direct replacement for existing wall switches and allow continued manual control but add external control.
This could be the start of a home automation system using one of the popular schemes (Google or Amazon in the USA for example)
You have not completed your user profile to reveal where you are on the planet, so we can't suggest any particular products that would be approved in your country.

I suppose it would be possible to mechanically link a servo or a couple of solenoids to a regular light switch without messing with the wiring but that certainly doesn't seem like the simplest way of doing it.

Perhaps some variation on this technology:

Hextejas:
Hahahahaha.
Exactly !
