When I backup all the files, I like to see which files are being backed
up, if the folder has changed (by having a file created and deleted) I see
this folder I when I backup. I would rather not see folders that have not
really changed.
(I am not trying to open the file more than once.)

What does it prevent you from doing? Are you trying to open this file
more than once? You see, I'm confused why you need to override this
function of LO. Since the dot files are hidden anyway, I don't see what
difference the existence of these files make. The answer to my questions
might enlighten me.

Calligra does not create a dot file when viewing files, is there an
option to turn this off in LibreOffice?

Do you want multiple users to be able to edit the file at the same time?
I think this is causing confusion on the list.
Often a program will create a lock file to prevent other users from
modifying a file while someone is editing the file. This is a fairly
common procedure and in some programs can be over ridden.
A "dot" file can also refer to the MSO XP Word template with *.dot
extension.

.~lock.file.doc#
Is it really that difficult to tell us exactly about the situation? We
don't even know the operating system.
Is it really that difficult to copy some documents into a test
directory, display hidden files and open them read-only?
4 tests on Linux:
1) libreoffice -view blah.odt [no lock file]
2) chmod -w blah.odt
libreoffice blah.odt [no lock file]
3) menu:File>Open... [X] Read Only [no lock file]
4) menu:Save As... [X]Password blah2.odt with a read-only password
close, re-open blah2.odt [creates a lock file]
