Off the top of my head, because of the way IMP caches message  
information, I don't think it's currently possible to open an IMP  
message view window referencing only an IMAP UID via code from another  
application.

Your statement about using IMAP directly needing extra authentication  
isn't exactly correct. You can use IMP_Api::imapOb() to get a  
reference to the Horde_Imap_Client object, already authenticated  
(assuming IMP uses "hordeauth" or the user is already otherwise  
authenticated to IMP).  You can then use the Horde_Imap_Client object  
to fetch what you need to display.
