Yes and no.
The simple answer is that "timed recovery files" will only be the modified
ones. So in that case, "yes, opening all open documents will stop" as requested
by bug 57414. (think temporary files, removable media or disconnected server
files, etc.)

However, if the buggy crash leaves LO working enough to request an emergency
restart, then "no, all open documents will be opened still".

No. For the same reason that the start center doesn't "hide" inaccessible
files, this idea wouldn't work. Attempting to open inaccessible files can
result in long timeouts, potential password requests for server access, etc.
