How can I open a file in its default application from the command line?
For example if I have a file foo.doc
, can I type command ./foo.doc
into the CLI and have that file open in Word?
Note: on my linux machine, I would use xdg-open
but that doesn't work on my Mac.

Use:
or, alternatively:
to force it to open a new instance if one is already open for that app.
