This looks promising. I have tried it out, but it behaves a bit odd.
When I first tried experimenting with it your snippet jumps to the
start of the document. Then I began writing this reply and wanted
to double check.. and I inserted your snippet again, but now it
does nothing.

line1: if [ $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER -eq 1 ]; then
line2:        open "txmt://open?line=1" &
line3: else
line4:        open "txmt://open?line=$TM_LINE_NUMBER&column=1" &
line5: fi

I wanted to write something about line2 and line4 when I evaluated
them on their own. However since nothing works now, im not sure
what I wanted to write.

line4 looks in particular useful, if its possible to go to an X,Y position
without modifying the document.. thats could be a way to do it.
if just I could get it to work.
