Yes, IIRC the parameters are hardcoded into tkrat.

I don't have experience with zsh, so I don't know what effects *that* 
produces. Ignoring that aspect for the moment, however, inserting a 
wrapper a la

#!/bin/sh
shift
exec opera -newwindow `echo $* | sed -e 's/^[^(]*(//' -e 's/,[^,]*$//'`
exit 1

should be a reasonable first attempt ...

(Possibly not the *final* version, though, because it'll choke on 
various shell metacharacters. Might be better to put it in C.)
