Hi,

the thing I know is to open EA with one or more Diagrams open.

1. Open the Diagrams you want to be open
2. File, Save Shortcut
3. Choose the diagrams you want to be open
4. Use the chosen shortcut

Somehow you can open a fixed set of diagrams via model views. I don't remember the details, but it was posted here not too long ago.

If you want a parameterized opening (externally supplied guid) you need to write an add-in that evaluates the parameter and acts accordingly.

There's also the option to set the default diagram.
That will be the diagram that will be open when the model has finished loading.
You can do that on model level, or on model/user level.

See Diagram|Advanced|Set Model Default and Diagram|Advanced|Set User Default
