Jaguar Hood

Hello, I have a 2000 Jaguar s type, 3.0. The hood blew open one day while on the interstate. I quickly closed it. But the cable that opens the hood when you pull it from the inside of the cabin popped somewhere near the hood latch. I need to have maintenance work done on the motor but the hood is locked shut and I can't open it from the leavers inside the car. Is there anyway that I can disengage the hoodlatch from the outside in the front of the hood? I cannot see where the hood latch is located through the grill or from under the front of the car. Has anyone else had this problem that can help me please. Thank you in advance.
