Way to Open Files that Start with "." on OS X/Linux?

I'm working with DOCX files and the key file in a DOCX package is the .rels file in the _rels directory. If I unpackage the archive (for convenience of processing with XSLT), under OS X the normal Oxygen file chooser won't show files that start with "." (per normal unix/linux rules). I can open the file from the command line of course, but is there a way to access such files via the normal file chooser?

Hello, Version 9.3 which will be released next week will add an option "Show hidden files and directories" which will enhance the file chooser dialog with the requested capability. Until the release you should use the Archive Browser view available in the development snapshot kit of Oxygen 9.3 that you already have. With that kit you can apply XSLT processing to files that start with "." without extracting them from the archive. Just open the file in the XML editor panel and use ${currentFileURL} in the transformation scenario or right click on the file in the Archive Browser view, select "Copy location" in the right click menu and paste the URL of the file in the transformation scenario.
