If the contents are extracted, the html file will be in a subdirectory within the resources subdirectory within the ims archive folder.  The html file can then be opened and edited with a text editor on the user's computer.

A third way -- if the file is in Authoring Space, and (a) the user's LON-CAPA library server/VM uses Apache/SSL, and (b) the domain coordinator has not dis enabled webDAV access for authors -- is for the user to connect to the Authoring Space with webDAV and then use the preferred editor on his/her computer to open the file via a volume mounted via webDAV.
