Is there a way to open an Attribute Table programatically in ArcMap using Arcpy 10.1?

Is there an arcpy command that can will OPEN and display an attribute table of a given feature class (programatically)?

I'm using arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer to change the symbology and field visibility, but then I want the attribute table open (without manually having to do so). The script is attached to a button that is prepping the feature class for editing. Another button will select a subset of features, zoom, and then allow the user to update attributes.

I know that the attribute can be opened with a right-click one time and the edit button will work, but it would be nice if this could be built in to the editing button in case the attrbitue table wasn't already open.

I'm open for other suggestions (but sticking with arcpy).

Thanks

I don't believe that level of access is exposed to the arcpy module, that is getting into ArcObjects territory.

Thanks. I figured that was the answer, but didn't want to assume.
