Not a problem at all, certainly temp folder can be accessed as files imported, but it will be difficult to use for newbies unfamiliar with FS structure.
But since mkvextract GUI is grossly outdated (2007) there is no program that allows extraction for specific portions of the file (video, audio feeds, subtitles, fonts). This is frequently needed for editing and compiling other files.
Hybrid has all dependencies but missing simple GUI. Maybe something like new profile "File Extraction" with interface addition of three buttons extract audio: choice of available: where to, extract subtitles: choice of available: where to, extract video (rarely needed): choice of available: where to. This option should be set before importing file and blocked if at least 1 type of file is not chosen. If three buttons will be too much, it can be one button: extract disassembled file to ` ` this location.
The only difficulty I see is to properly identify the stream and attach extension to the extracted file. If it's troublesome this portion can be left to the user, for identifying file with MediaInfo.

I really have difficulties understanding why Hybrid is not as widely popular as Hand Brake for example. Certainly it requires some knowledge for more complex scenarios, but really easy to use with default settings. It reminds me in a way of now extinct Squeeze (now free), which was excellent. https://www.sorensonmedia.com/
On the media tracker of 5,000 (just closed) I actively tried to push it, but responses were that there are no easy to understand prenamed profiles. And probably majority was to lazy to read description.
Maybe just make presets?
