   * The `open` method differs in use from `raiseIntent`.  Generally, it should be used when the target application is known but there is no specific intent.  For example, if an application is querying the App Directory, `open` would be used to open an app returned in the search results.
   *
   * **Note**, if the intent, context and target app name are all known, it is recommended to instead use `raiseIntent` with the `target` argument.
   *
   * If a Context object is passed in, this object will be provided to the opened application via a contextListener. The Context argument is functionally equivalent to opening the target app with no context and broadcasting the context directly to it.
