Script for Opening a File in a Container Field?

My brain just doesn't want to think today, so I need help with something pretty simple.

I want to open a file that is stored in a container field. I do not want to export it's contents, just open the original file. I was trying to use Get (Filepath), then Open (URL) but I cannot get the Get (Filepath) to work properly. I keep getting the error message that the parameters aren't correct.

Any help just getting a file from a container field to open? Not sure if I need to write a script to get this done, so I'm hoping I have posted in the right spot.

Thanks much.

If the file is stored (embedded) in the container field (as opposed to storing a reference only), then it cannot be opened without exporting first.
