Explanation
There are three forms of the open
command:
Open Object
Opens the window an object is in, and navigates to the given card. This is equivalent to the go
command with the in new window
option, in that if you open a different window, this will not close the previous window, and instead open a second window.
Open Document/Application
Opens the given document as if it had been double-clicked in Finder. This is equivalent to the launch
command. If you specify the with <application>
argument, you can override the application that would normally be used to open a document of a given type.
Open URL
Opens your default web browser and brings up the given web site.
