Believe that's the point of OP, it can't. Internally if the Writer module is
running the WRITER_DOCSERVICE takes precedence over the file extension in
selecting the text filter to open the comma separated value .CSV file (a.k.a
"character" separated value).

With WRITER_DOCSERVICE set (because the call to open comes from a Writer
session) the document is not passed to the Text import filter for opening into
Calc.

Meaning--if you want to open it in Writer, launch Writer and open it
there--regardless of handling for the file extension. Otherwise the file
extension will trigger the text import filter from any other launch scenario.
And why I don't see much need to change anything.
