and I can confirm that this indeed open calibre.

Then I've tried the suggested approach:
open -a calibre.app --args calibre://show-book/Calibre_Library/1
but that doesn't work either.

Btw, apart this apparent bug on my MacOs why can't we just simply use the plain url calibre://show-book/Calibre_Library/1 ?
This way we could simply use as a standard link in any note taking app.
Is the `open -a calibre.app` part absolutely necessary?
