Good point, which I missed.

In bibtex-actions, which uses bibtex-completion as a backend, I have
the following "open" commands:

- open-pdf
- open-link (doi or url)
- open (pdf, or link if not present)
- open-entry (bibtex, to edit)
- open-notes (to review, edit)

All of those backend functions take KEYS as input.
