I have seen that work. The other possability is that you may still be able to get a hold of the inner cable. You might have to cut the outer cable back to get a grip on it but it is still easier than chopping up the latch. Get a vise-grip and go hunting under the dash. Maybe try pulling on the outer and inner cable while someone tries lifting the hood. You have to use a broomstick to move the carpet and backing out of the way if you are going to try that trick from underneath. It won't work if there is anything in the trunk. That back-up emergency cable starts to look like a good idea!
