Like the Conditional Moves feature I'd like to have an opening book of moves that I can play through ...

Let's be honest; how many people don't start with a pawn?!

I'd like to have an opening book of moves that I can play through ... I'm sure any book store has them. There is a database feature for subscribers if you need help or ideas for your openings.

16 possible pawn moves and how often do they play the one I want? Just about never til I've forgotten what I learned and wanted to try out. I don't suppose we can have a feature that forces a move on our opponent? Thought not.

Specify your preferred opening when creating Open Invites and see what happens.

Isn't there already a "Play from opening" option within the Conditional Move system?

Yes there is. I suspect the conditional move feature is just not that accessible right now, so some interface improvements should get more people using it.
