+ specifies the URL of the document to load

+ <p>
+ To create new documents, use "private:factory/scalc", "private:factory/swriter", etc.
+ Other special protocols (e.g. "slot:", ".uno") are not allowed and raise

+
+ @param TargetFrameName
+ specifies the name of the frame to view the document in
+
+ <p>
+ If a frame with the specified name already exists, it is used, otherwise it
+ is created. There exist some special targets which never can be used
+ as real frame names:
+ <table border=1>
+ <tr>
+ <td><strong>"_blank"</strong></td>
+ <td>always creates a new frame</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><strong>"_default"</strong></td>
+ <td>special UI functionality<br>(e.g. detecting of already loaded documents, using of empty frames of creating of new top frames as fallback)</td>

+ use the values of FrameSearchFlag to specify
+ how to find the specified <var>TargetFrameName</var>
+
+ <p>
+ Note: These flags are optional ones and will be used for non special
+ target names only.
+ </p>
+
+ @param Arguments
+ these arguments specify component or filter specific behavior
+
+ <p>
+ For example, "ReadOnly" with a boolean value specifies whether
+ the document is opened read-only. "FilterName" specifies the
+ component type to create and the filter to use, for example:
+ "Text - CSV". For more information see

+ <p>
+ This interface is a generic one and can be used to start further requests on
+ loaded document or control the lifetime of it (means dispose() it after using).
+ The real document service behind this interface can be one of follow three ones:
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ com::sun::star::awt::XWindow for simple components<br/>
+ Should be used for viewable components only. It is not allowed to dispose
+ it after use directly, because the frame containing the component is its owner.
+ Because the frame object is not accessible through the interface too,
+ only an interacting user can do this by closing the frame's window.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ XController for richer components<br/>
+ Should be used for real editable components which doesn't need a model.
+ It is not allowed to dispose it after use directly, because the frame
+ containing the component is its owner. Here the object can be disposed
+ by disposing the frame, that the XController::getFrame()
+ method of the controller returns. But for visible components the controller
+ should be asked for permission by calling XController::suspend() before.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ XModel for full featured components<br/>
+ A model that in general can be shared between several view/controller pairs,
+ does not have an explicit owner. Every view and also the component that
+ loaded the document may consider itself as an owner.
+ Simply calling com::sun::star::lang::XComponent::dispose() on this model may
+ cause problems, if some members of the "owner community" are currently
+ busy working on the model. These problems are handled by explicit closing
+ negotiations through the interface com::sun::star::util::XCloseable.
+ Direct dispose of the model is allowed only, if this special interface doesn't exist.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
