If you're running a very old KDE then, yes, you would need to change
kde-open5 to kde-open.
try doing just
kde-open your-document.odt
and see if that opens your document.
It should open it using whatever program would have opened it if you had
just clicked on it in your file manager.
Of course if clicking on it in your file manager doesn't open it either
then you'll need to change the default program to whatever you want to
open it.

This is pretty rough but it might do what you want it to do, but it
could be a lot better:
for I in *.{html,pdf,odt,doc,docx}; do kde-open5 $I; done
Just add whatever document types to the part in the {}s and it will open
all the documents in the current directory.
There's no limit to the number of document so be careful that your
directory doesn't contain more than a few documents.

Long ago, I found a shell script (see below) named "v"
that allows me to do this from the command line. I go into any directory
(folder) and type: v *jpg <E>
to scan through all .jpgs in that directory.
Is there a way to do something similar to scroll or scan
through a directory and view the contents of documents such as libre
office .odt files?
Here's the "v" script:
# v open named image
cls;ls -ltr | tail -10;echo
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then FILE=$1; else echo "Open what file? " read file;
FILE=$file; fi
nohup gwenview $FILE >/dev/null 2>&1 &
exit
