Yeah I see that now. Another option is to create an automator work flow and save it as an app. The work flow will only have get specified server and connect to server in that order. In the get specified server, just enter the server url. Then save it as an app. I’ve tried it and it connects and mounts at login without the finder window opening.
There is another way as well which involves editing the /etc/fstab file, but I’m not sure off the top of my head how to create an entry for a network drive. I should add that if you want to try to go that root, you only edit fstab using vifs. And, there is yet another way using launchctl, but I’m not going to try to tell you how to do that either it as I don’t actually have a nas. I’m just using an ftp server for testing. You would want to use something like mount_afp or mount_smbfs. You can look at the man page and play around with it. The automator app is probably the easiest option though.

I will try it again. if it continues to open the finder window, do you have any more suggestions?
