Opening surprise packages is sooo tedious...

When one has a large stockpile of surprise packages to open, it presents an extremely tedious task of repeated scrolling and clicking. This could easily be alleviated by giving us a "Try Again" button on the results page.
Alternatively, it would be great if I could hire some urchins to open 100 packages at a time...in exchange for a fee, of course.

I'm not a StoryNexus expert, but if I were to guess... the root issue is that the "Surprise Package" storylet redirects you to the "Open Your Bundle" storylet, which is shared from many other sources of bundles. The Opening storylet has no state or memory of how you got there, so it doesn't have a way of knowing whether you should be directed afterwards to your Story tab, or your Inventory tab, or into the middle of another storylet.
A quick & dirty solution would be to duplicate the entire Open Bundle logic (including results) for packages and have different redirect logic on each results. This could at least point you to the inventory screen, but maybe not the Package itself. The regular "Try Again" button may be stymied by the fact that it's a 2-step process, and what you want to repeat is the first action, not the action whose results you're currently seeing.
Again, I'm extrapolating a lot into an area where I don't have a lot of hands-on knowledge. Maybe there is a work-around, I certainly hope so because I agree that the process is tedious. But unfortunately the fix may not be as simple as we would like.
If you find some urchins willing to do the task, please let me know as I would be willing to purchase their services as well.

Please don't clutter every part of London for anyone who is hanging onto surprise packages.

Aye, the cat in a box thing is annoying enough to have everywhere.
