Research direction
Start by locating the CLI handling for -r and --open, then review how file opening is routed when a local code-server instance is already running. Done means that using -r with --open in the local-editor case opens the requested file and launches the browser, while preserving the existing behavior described in the issue.

Description
We can open files in a running instance of code-server with -r (well technically -r is optional if code-server is already running) but it might be nice to also support --open to automatically launch the browser as well.
Only works if you are using code-server as a local editor but it would let you do things like implement "open with" without having to open the browser window ahead of time.
