NOTE: This is a Legacy Economy API, and is in bugfix-only mode. All new Economy features are being developed only for version 2. Opens a specific container (ContainerItemInstanceId), with a specific key (KeyItemInstanceId, when required), and returns the contents of the opened container. If the container (and key when relevant) are consumable (RemainingUses > 0), their RemainingUses will be decremented, consistent with the operation of ConsumeItem.
