Open PrefabEditor from script

Question

Does anyone know if the API has been updated to allow us to open the new PrefabEditor introduced in 2018.3 programatically?

I wish to create an EditorWindow to edit properties of my objects (along with their prefabs) in one unified place.

I've tried PrefabUtility with Preview Rooms

 Scene roomPreview =
 EditorSceneManager.NewPreviewScene();
             PrefabUtility.LoadPrefabContentsIntoPreviewScene("Assets/Resources/Rooms/Starting
 Room.prefab", roomPreview);

But it doesn't do anything

Please try the below lines to open the prefab in preview scene

 Type t = typeof(UnityEditor.Experimental.SceneManagement.PrefabStageUtility);
 MethodInfo mi = t.GetMethods(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public |BindingFlags.Static).Single(m => m.Name == "OpenPrefab" && m.GetParameters().Length == 1
                                     && m.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType == typeof(string) ); 
 mi.Invoke(null, new object[] {"Prefab File path"});
