Open Text File with Non-Standard Extension

Is there an easy way for JSL to open a text file with a non-standard file extension?  For example: I would like to open a text file with an extension like ".ridiculous", but JMP is not able to select this file using Open() dialog.  Any ideas?  I am using JMP 18.0.1.

And if you are building UI and wish to have more customization options you can use Pick File()

Names Default To Here(1);
filepath = Pick File(
	"Select JMP File",
	"$DOCUMENTS",
	{"All Files|*"},
	1,
	0,
	"newJmpFile.jmp"
);

If(IsMissing(filepath),
	Throw("No file selected");
);

dt = Open(filepath);
