Try

open("/path/to/your/macro.txt");

or

open("/path/to/your/macro.ijm");

When opening a .txt file, you still have to select the language manually
using 'Language > ImageJ Macro' in the script editor's menu.

I've noticed that the macro recorder does not record this command when
using drag and drop to open the file. Opening via 'File > Open...'
records the correct command, however.
