UnauthorizedAccessException Accessing XSD In Windows Store App

My Windows Store app uses the FileOpenPicker to allow the user to browse to an XML document. I can open the XML document as a stream and load it with XDocument.Load([stream]).

But now, as I parse the XML document, I want to process schema declarations that I find. I want to open a referenced XSD and parse it, too, using an XDocument. The referenced XSD is in the same folder as the main XML document. How do I open the referenced XSD? If I try to access it by its full path name, an UnauthorizedAccessException object is thrown. I don't want to use the FileOpenPicker again and force the user to select the XSD ... that would make for a bad UI. I know where the XSD is ... it's with the XML.

So how do I call XDocument.Load() on the referenced XSD without an UnauthorizedAccessException object being thrown?

You can't take any file from outside application Local Storage without use permission, so you have to use FileOpenPicker again. It's security limitation and you cannot bypass it.
