2. From the menu bar click on File menu.
3. Select Open File menu item
4. Select a XML file anywhere in your file system. Ensure the XML file is not selected from the workspace.

Our Validation Framework doesn't support files existing outside workspace yet.ValidatorStrategy aborts for files outside workspace.I was able to get validators running  by creating dummy linked file in a temporary project created just for files outside workspace.Nick , does it look like correct approach?

It looks like an enhancement.
