But then do yo want to automatically open a layer or automatiaclly
open a project?

You can achieve the latter this way:
qgis --project projectfile

That's two clicks: (1) open the menu item, (2) select the desired
layer. Zoom to layer from the legend also requires two clicks usually.

Which QGIS database and which Access table?
You can add layers from a .mdb ESRI geodatabase to a QGIS proyect, if
that's what you mean. But I think they're read only --you can't edit
them from QGIS.
