I was expecting that changing "select" to "open" in a link to a parent item would simply open that item's best attachment — the same thing a double-click on the item does. But it seems that a zotero://open link with the parent item key does not do anything (only a debug warning).

Would it be possible to add this? A link to the parent item would be more stable than a link to a specific attachment, which silently stops working when that attachment is replaced — e.g. a preprint PDF swapped for the published version, or a re-downloaded file. ZoteroPane.viewItems already defines the resolution (getBestAttachment, then the URL field, then DOI), so the open handler could fall back to the same logic.
