​Dennis, in Windows 10, as in Windows 8.x, shouldn't it be possible to open
such files directly from the Downloads folder by clicking​ on «Extract
(All)» ? I haven't found a third-party service like 7-zip or WinZip to be
required to open .zip files....

  You can open a .zip file directly by double-clicking on it.  However, you 
don't have actions such as testing, etc.  That is what I was speaking to with 
regard to verifying a download.

When the extension is not .zip, Windows does not offer its built-in Zip support 
though. 

Also, some third-party Zip files will appear to be empty when opened in 
Windows, apparently because of some incompatibilities in the way some of those 
Zips are made.  I find that WinZip always opens them though, even if a Test 
will describe abnormalities.

Normally, if you double-click on an .oxt that provides a dictionary, it should 
install, since OpenOffice has set that file-name extension as for files it 
opens.
