Default Broken Hood Latch Cable Help

So the cable in the cab of my truck broke and there isn't an easy access to the broken end of the cable inside of the cab.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to open the hood from the outside of the truck with some basic tools? so i don't have to start damaging or ripping things apart.

i have a 2008 Crew cab f-150 4x4 any help or advise would be appreciated!

Through the grill right above your emblem. Gonna have to use a long screwdriver or pigtail type tool to manipulate the latch. Just look for where the cable comes into the latch.
