It is not clear if you want to bring up the OF quick entry panel and have a task with the details filled in for the file or only a blank task? When discussing scripts, it is beneficial to see the script you are currently using. If you could copy & paste and post it to this thread members of the forum can probably help identify a better solution.

I am not sure having the OF quick entry window seemingly to pop up randomly with none or a blank task would be productive in my opinion. I would consider such an event a mis-key of the keyboard shortcut and dismiss it entirely. If I were to use this, having a task filled out would be preferred to add context as to why the OF quick entry panel appeared.

Regardless of my workflow preferences. To answer your question regarding "simply bring up the OF quick entry window".

Option 1: OF quick entry panel (no tasks created).

Code:
tell application "OmniFocus"
    activate
    tell quick entry
        open
    end tell
end tell
Option 2: OF quick entry panel (blank task created).

Code:
tell application "OmniFocus"
    activate
    tell quick entry
        open
        set NewTask to make new inbox task
    end tell
end tell
Option 3: OF quick entry panel (task created with properties listed between {} characters).

Code:
tell application "OmniFocus"
    activate
    tell quick entry
        open
        set NewTask to make new inbox task with properties {}
    end tell
end tell
