That's right. But currently `open' doesn't actually work for text
that's hidden via text-properties (as opposed to overlays). I think
that's the problem you bumped into.
I'm not sure what's the best and/or simplest way to fix it.
Maybe a first step would be to emit a message explaining that the match
is inside hidden text (at least so the user gets a clue about what's
going on).

Agreed, tho the current implementation indeed toggles.

That's indeed another problem that should be fixed.
