There *is* a way, at least here with 3.3.3 (version details in
signature). If you pick the right file type (in the File -> Open file
picker), "Text CSV (*.csv;*.txt)" it opens in calc, no matter if the
name ends with .txt or with .csv.

The CSV option is there and works. But there *is* an unexpected
behavior, when you pick the "Spreadsheets" filter -- it opens in Writer.
