Unless you deliberately override that, the LibreOffice flatpak has full 
access to the host filesystem, so I'm not sure what kind of missing 
access you are talking about.

You need to be more specific:  Given one of your documents, where is 
that document located, how do you try to access it from within 
LibreOffice, and how exactly does that fail?
