data is a Request sealed class and inside that class there 3 classes Opened, Success, NotSigned
How I can cast data to have access to data.openedFrom value? I want to avoid invoking 3 times navigate() function

I have something very similar in my code and data should be cast as a Request.

Also if your Request class has no parameter, you should consider using a sealed interface instead.

Can you modify the definition of Request? Because it seems to me that well, if all the subtypes have a common openedFrom property, then that should also be reflected in their supertype. Something like

sealed class Request {
  abstract val openedFrom: Instant

  data class Opened(override val openedFrom: Instant, foo: Int, bar: String) : Request()

  data class Success(override val openendFrom: Instant, baz: Long) : Request()
...
}
