Unable to access files under snap directory

[ogra]

this has been discussed here as well before (not for snap shipped documentation, but similar issue, i wonder who in the rust community had the brilliant idea to ship docs in a hidden user dir by default):

Can't access rustup documentation with Firefox

Like the title says, rustup doc opens Firefox, and I get an “access denied” error. In my googling, I’ve discovered that snap disallows access to any hidden file. So /home/iain/.rustup/anything_at_all is off limits. Security is nice, but arbitrarily denying me access to my own files is a little much. Is there a way I can access Rust documentation offline? Thanks
