Python open a file with GUI

How can I open a file via Python through its actual application? Not open(filename), but to actually view the file myself on the computer. Can I do it with subprocess.run and use a terminal command? (I'm on windows).

You can probably do it in one of the following ways:

import subprocess
subprocess.run('notepad.exe')

or

import os
os.startfile('textfile.txt')

which will open the textfile with the program associated with txt files.
