AppleScript to access Specific Video in Photos

Is there a way to use AppleScript to open a specific video in Photos.app?


I use Obsidian to create project dashboards, which for me is an extremely powerful way to bring in links to internal files and folders, videos, web links, and even open shortcuts (via Shortcuts app) to trigger other actions like opening a photo album, all in one place so that when I'm ready to work, everything I need is in one place. I love then putting that Obsidian note's app-based URL into my calendar so that when I'm following my day, boom, click directly into that dashboard. The goal is to keep it low-friction to get into various projects. One or two clicks and I'm in there working on what I need. No launching 6 apps and going through different folders to start moving things around.


However, there are a few resource types that seem harder to get to. I can get as far as opening a specific commonly used photo album, as I mentioned. But there does not seem to be an easy way to get the video to open that I have been able to find in any forums.
