Description
Need a 'tool' keyword in the "open" command to control which tool or tools (or none) show an interface when data is opened. It would default to the last set used for that type. If it's the first time that type of data is opened, then if there's only one tool use that; if multiple, show a chooser if there's a gui, otherwise none.
I'm not sure where the concept of ownership of data would be implemented, but if a single tool is used to display newly opened data, that tool "owns" the data and the data will be closed when that tool is closed.
There should be some kind of keyword in the "open" command to change this default ownership behavior.

I think the bundle that registers the "opener" function for the data type has "dibs" on showing an interface.
Kind of still an ugly issue.
