+--   # Open Items Explicit
+--   This script reproduces and improves REAPER’s media item's “double-click item” default action:
+--   - MIDI items → opened in the built-in MIDI editor (multi-selection consolidated automatically)
+--   - Audio items → opened in the Media Item Properties dialog (multi-selection consolidated automatically)
+--   - Subprojects → opened in new project tabs (multi-selection handled automatically by REAPER)
+--
+--   Unlike REAPER’s native double-click behavior, this script:
+--   - Does not mess with current selection state
+--   - Can be assigned to any key, toolbar button, or controller
+--   - Runs as efficiently as possible (no redundant loops or reselection).
