I've never worked on a 787 so I can't comment on whether the gear door would be opened for the ETOPS pre- departure check.
The landing gear is out in the open and that's what would be inspected. You would mainly be looking for hydraulic and fuel leaks and the gear doors would be opened if any dripping or puddles were noted.
The 787 has far fewer hydraulic lines and components in the wheel wells. The 787 uses electric components more than hydraulic and pneumatic.
