Isn't this a sort of reverse thinking? You simply declare any syllable which is neither dageshed nor has hataf as open. Sometimes, that may be counterintuitive: binchem, citvei, dvarchem. It's not easy to explain mich-tav, but bi-thchem.

IMO, nothing but chanting can explain why the Masoretes syllabified michtav and bithchem differently.

An open short (and unstressed) vowel is simply denoted
by a schewa or hataf.
