I remembered why I've been punting on this: the dependency issues. When opening
a run via the workflow-run-manager, it's possible the user is just using the
workflow-run-manager suite, not wrp, for example, so the report items can't be
opened. I.e., how does WRM know what all to open from the kar, which could
conceivably contain all sorts of things used by other modules? Probably the
answer is to switch to using the existing Open KAR mechanism, which I believe
works similarly to Save KAR (modules registering and e.g. saving/opening/etc
the appropriate karentries).

One problem here is that we don't actually have the run-kars in provenance,
just the component items. Two possible solns come immediately to mind: 1) put
run-kars into provenance or 2) build the kar when (before) trying to open a
run. Neither option seems especially good to me at the moment...
