I don't believe there's much difference, like if you say "open door" it just means a door that's open, but if you say "opened door" it puts emphasis on that somebody opened it. In that vein I guess it is kind of like 開いてる手のひら vs 開けてある手のひら

Btw this expression "openhanded" can mean generous if you didn't already know: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/open...
"in the aftermath of the disaster, many people were exceptionally openhanded with their donations to charity" -> many people were exceptionally generous with their donations
