The issue is fixed now, the current snap revision uses the desktop
portals which provides a picker on the real filesystem which allows to
access any location the normal user can browser (the program still
doesn't have access so it can't go read things it shouldn't, it requires
user interaction to go pick from the selector)

Title:
  [snap] Cannot open attached file from e-mail

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed the LibreOffice snap to get a newer version compared to the apt 
package.  When I receive a LibreOffice document as attachment and try to open 
it from Thunderbird, I get the following error message:
  """
  /tmp/mozilla-antoine0/mydoc.docx doesn't exist
  """

  I don't understand the point of restricting filesystem access from a word 
processor.
  At least this is a clear regression from the apt package.
