That’s exactly what setting the target of a window does, if the window is in column view mode.
It seems you can set the target of any window in column view to any finder item, not matter how deep, and it seems to work, without opening new windows.
I kind of dig this thread because I’ve got a few scripts that leave too many finder windows open and I think this will solve that.
Thanks Stan and Luther!

That's what I was trying when I came up with the script at the bottom. The 'set target ...' line, below, seems to have the same problem as 'select ...'. I'll look further into using target later.

I thought Stan nailed. This doesn’t work?
tell application "Finder"
activate
set target of window 1 to alias "Work_Files:Mail-Safe Archive:_Mail-Safe Folder:2010:"
end tell
