This will trigger a Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets, which can cause Objects that are only referenced on the stack to be unloaded.
If you're getting a MissingReferenceException after opening a scene, consider storing the reference in an editor window or static variable to remain loaded through the transition.

You can use EditorBuildSettings.scenes to get the path of a scene from its build index.

Note that this method loads the scene synchronously, so the returned scene will have scene.isLoaded return true, and you can immediately perform operations on it's GameObjects/etc, without having to wait for a SceneManager.sceneLoaded event.
