That's still the best way to do it. If you have a package and a non-package-savvy application, you just open the file from inside (like, instead of Blah.jpg you'd open Blah.jpg/contents.jpg for contents, Blah.jpg/preview.tiff for preview). Whilst agreeably mite inconvenient, it'
s always possible.

If you used some dirty trick though like resource fork is, with non-resource-fork-savvy applications you can access the data fork only, and that's that.
