Here's a complete solution for PyRevit as of 2020.1. The API does not have an easy way to set a workset open or closed - instead you need to reload the link with a new workset configuration. This means creating a workset configuration that defaults to closing all worksets, then loading it up with all the worksets you want to remain open. Then you pass this into the LoadFrom method to reload the link.

Goes to Manage > Manage Links > Manage Worksets and opens the Shared Levels and Grids workset for each LOADED link.
