I would be very surprised to find that such an exercise exists for the heart. The heart appears to open up naturally as a byproduct of working with the solar plexus. Developing kindness and compassion are the favored techniques for that in Tibetan Buddhism. Meditations on the subject would fit nicely with the DA (I can't speak to WGS, I haven't purchased a copy yet), as would spending time trying to observe the heart and sensations relating to circulation. I haven't gotten to the 3-cauldrons yet, but I imagine that the solar cauldron would do a good job opening up the heart. There is a similar Neidan exercise explicitly for that purpose.
Hopefully this is of use, I know it isn't exactly what you were asking for.
