Image Events and Preview

I have a script that creates JPEGs. I wanted to display them to the user in Preview, but discovered that Preview isn't scriptable(!)

On a lark, I tried telling Image Events to open the files. It works, but…the files actually open in Preview!

While this is nice, I'm worried that as a long-term solution it might be a bit fragile.

And it would seem logical that Image Events must be using something like Apple Events to tell Preview to open the files. Now, if that's the case, then why the heck isn't Preview directly scriptable?
