Requests to open and print may indeed arrive at your app as Apple Events, but the best place to intervene is in NSApplicationDelegate protocol. By default, all such external requests should end up at one or other of the delegate protocol methods.

Sorry, I still consider myself a newbie in Cocoaland. I can add those open and print overrides to my NSApplicationDelegate, but I only want to be able to set breakpoints on them but still let the default behavior happen. Since NSApplicationDelegate doesn't actually implement those methods, I can't simply call [super application:sender openFiles:filenames]; to get that default behavior. So what do I do? I need everything to work at least once in the normal way so I can then see which methods might not be getting called when things start going wrong.
