I would suggest that clients should prompt the user rather than immediately changing display. This would help mitigate the two listed potential issues.

Instead of specifying different types, you could also use matrix:// URLs (when that lands), and just have a single href property.

bikeshedding: m.open_on_device instead of m.openondevice. Though the "on device" is somewhat redundant since it's a to_device message. So maybe just m.open, or m.goto to match the /goto command

Even if we're not soon getting nice matrix:// URIs mentioned above, I'm not quite sure what you get by producing a separate type field. Why not just use room (standing for id or alias - they can be easily discerned by a sigil), user, event, and group as keys? E.g.,
"content": { "room": "!aroomfor:allof.us" }would be used to open a room (modulo via), while
"content": {
"room": "#allofus:allof.us",
"event": "$event:allof.us"
}would be the same for events.
That wouldn't work if you want to make this system client-extensible (with, say, Riot using its own "type": "im.riot.popup" standing for a popup specifically within Riot clients) but I seriously doubt in such extensibility being worthwhile or even desired.

Non-optional -> required, or mandatory?

in general, why not an m.open event like this:
{
"uri": "https://matrix.to/#/!somewhere:example.org"
}Assuming the documentation reads similar to "the uri is the location to open, which may current be a [matrix.to] URI or in the future some sort of matrix://-scheme resource".

again: this should be an array

what if the room is an alias?

surely this is required under some circumstances?
