cannot open files that are managed by the File Provider extension.

This is a restriction of macOS itself, not a fault in the client. For your
protection, macOS only lets specific apps open a given file, and it does not
allow an app to grant itself that permission. The part of the client that is
allowed to manage these files is not permitted to launch other apps, and the
part that could launch your editor is not permitted to open the file.
Granting Full Disk Access does not help, because a different part of the
macOS security system is responsible for this.

To edit such a file, open it directly from Finder instead: select your
Nextcloud location in the Finder sidebar and double-click the file.
