You should be able to drag and drop a epub on Sigil and it should open it. If Sigil is already open, dragging and dropping a file on Sigil's icon in the dock should open it. Obviously using the file menus works as well.
If you use open with inside Sigil, it sets the working directory to where the Sigil process working directory is.
If you use macOS open with on an epub and choose Sigil, I am not sure where the working directory for later Sigil "open with" would be.
If it turns out to be the /Applications folder, or some other protected space you would not be able to open a file inside the working directory!
So how you launch Sigil will matter. I could try to force a valid working directory for Sigil's openWith command if that would help.

Selecting a file in the Book Browser and using the Open with External Editor (I have attached PageEdit) also opens PageEdit but the file does not open in it. I have even tried Open With ... and PageEdit opens without the file.
If I open Sigil first and then choose an epub file using the Open With context menu in MacOS then the file populates in Sigil. This strategy also works with PageEdit if I use the Open With ... feature in Sigil.
Is it something with MacOS?
