Use the -b option and give the application package identifier

"-b bundle_indentifier Specifies the package identifier for the application that will be used when opening the file"

  open -b "app.bundle.id"

I solved this by adding a install.sh script message that has

#!/bin/bash

open /Applications/NewlyInstalled.app

postinstall " " ?
