This is a very peculiar need. XXE is more designed to work with a large number of inclusions coming from a relatively small number of source files. (That's why we have developed the Include tool http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/includePane.html.) > When working with these files and including them in the master > file, I have to switch between file manager and XXE to open such file, > then copy this file as reference, switch to the tab with the master file > and paste reference.

But such file manager would be just a byproduct of a much larger, pretty ambitious, project. We do not expect to work on it in the short term. Note that if you are in a hurry, you may want to develop such file manager yourself.
