JFYI, but to correct a misapprehension here, open does take arguments
(for the launched process) so your original idea would have also
worked if you had used a shell function instead of an alias and passed
the args through with $* HTH

This won't work with options. It's better to write a wrapper script.
I use the following one:
#!/bin/sh
app="Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs"
#emacs="/Applications/$app"
test -x "$emacs" || emacs="/Applications/MacPorts/$app"
test -x "$emacs" || emacs="/usr/bin/emacs"
exec "$emacs" ${SSH_CONNECTION:+-nw} ${SCREEN_IN_SSH:+-nw} "$@"
This also allows Emacs to automatically run in the terminal (instead
of the physical screen) when it is a ssh session (one can also do
this for a screen session recalled from a ssh session, but this
needs some config).
