--- Comment #3 from ArubIslander <arubislander at zonnet.nl> ---
Additional permissions are gained in confinement mode by connecting to
interfaces (plugs) that are exposed by other snaps (slots).
At the moment there are no interfaces that define access to remote mounts or
the /tmp folder (if I am not mistaken about the last)

There does exist however an interface for granting access to mounts on /media
and /run/media. This is the removable-media interface. The workaround I have
done for other snaps that advertise the removable-media interface as a plug is
to mount my remote filesystems under /media. This is how I have the keepassxc
snap configured.

The current libreoffice snap does not advertise the removable-media interface
plug, which I think it should do in any case, as you would also want to be able
to open an document on removable media.

For access to the /tmp folder I suspect an interface request would need to be
made here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bugs?field.tag=snapd-interface
