How can I emulate the Cmd-Opt-Double-Click behavior of the Finder,
You can grab the front window and close it, then you can open the folder which is selected:

Yeah, but this seems less elegant than an 'in same window' clause.. If such a clause were added, 1) Back/Foward behavior in windows would be consistent, 2) window positions would be maintained - though this could be done with a script too (does any OSAX implement a 'lock screen' type command to suppress GUI output temporarily?), and 3) possibly be quicker (one open command instead of an open/close pair - don't know how it's coded)
