OK, modify this idea as required...

Plug an electromagnet into a smart plug and have it hold down a lightly
spring-loaded door. Maybe even just a piece of foam weather stripping. Just
enough so that when it releases, you can get your fingers in a rabbet, if
not under the door itself.

When you say "Alexa, door off" the smart plug will turn off and the magnet
will release the door. Pop! To close, say "Alexa, door on" and then press
the door closed to engage the magnet.

I like!

But instead of just releasing the latch, why not go all the way and make
the door self opening? Add some smoke and music for effect. Maybe even
have it open to a command like "Mr. Smith, I need you." (For those of
you who ever watched that short-lived Dr. Who spinoff, the Sarah Jane
Adventures.)
