Thanks! This looks much more clean.
Even better would be having a defcustom that defines the transient
layout. The idea is to avoid hard-coding [["Open" ... ] ["Copy" ...]
...] and instead make it defcustom.

(oref (transient-prefix-object) scope) is equivalent to (transient-scope)

It feels a bit too complex to demand knowledge of these transient
details (how to get the arglist) from users.
I am wondering if we can somehow plug the existing commands passing the
arguments without any extra setup on the user side.
