Modding Help Crafting through tech/items?

Alright, so after searching for a few hours, I have yet to find how I could POSSIBLY implement this. I believe it's impossible with items, but is it possible to open EXISTING, vanilla crafting interfaces with lua scripts? Here's what I've got so far

Modified blink.lua

Code:

function input(args)
  local currentPosition = tech.position() -- Gets your chars position that we can use later
  if args.moves["special"] == 1 then
    return "blink"
  end
  if args.moves["special"] == 2 then
    return { "OpenCraftingInterface", {config = "/interface/windowconfig/craftingtable.config",
        filter = { "plain" } }}
  end
  if args.moves["special"] == 3 then
    world.spawnMonster("glitchknight", { currentPosition[1] - 15, currentPosition[2] + 10 }, { level = 1, scale = 2 } )
  end
  return nil
end

All of it works except the interface part. The second that code runs the game crashes with this error in the log:

Code:

Error: VariantException: Cannot convert from list to string
  Variant::toString()
  TechController::tickMaster(float)
  Player::tickMaster()
  WorldClient::update()
  UniverseClient::update()
  ClientApplication::updateRunning()
  ClientApplication::update()
  StarApplicationBase::run()
  _SDL_main
  _console_main

I'd appreciate any help you guys could offer... I'm at my wit's end trying to troubleshoot this.
