Doesn’t that imply supporting spreadsheets, PowerPoint-like tools etc inside text documents?
If so, you’d either want your tool to only open a subset of ODT files or have it discard parts of documents it doesn’t support (possibly with a warning on opening, or replacing them with a warning message)
I've professionally used WordPad on Windows for a couple of years as my only word processor. It did everything I needed, including ODT support.

Nope! Just looking for text files (ODT)
But ODT documents aren’t text files. They can contain tables, spreadsheets, etc.
