What I meant would not fight against frameworks. It simply would call
the associated PDF when a .skim file is opened. In other words: when
opening the .skim file, the same function would be called as if the user
would manually click on the "Open PDF" button on the .skim file window.

There is a misunderstanding: I proposed a variant of opening PDFs from
within the associated .skim file window: Each .skim file window has a
button "Open PDF". Clicking on this button opens the associated PDF, but
leaves the .skim file window open. Similar what the Finder does for
files, I would like to have the feature of Option+click for the "Open
PDF" button on the .skim file window. This would close the .skim file
window additionally to opening the PDF. (This has nothing to do with the
Finder, I just used to Finder as a reference to similar behavior.)
Currently, I have to click "Open PDF", then use e.g. Exposé to get back
to the .skim file window in order to close it. Using Option+click on the
"Open PDF" button would make things more efficient.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that.
