Basically I need full access to the entire epub externally, would this be possible?
No, not while it is being edited by Sigil. Sounds like you have no idea how to use Sigil's extensive Find and Replace across files or use of Sigil in general like having multiple tabs open.

No matter. An epub is just a fancy zip with the first file in the zip being an uncompressed mimetype file.

So either just unzip the epub and go to town on it then use Sigil's FolderIn plugin to read it back into Sigil. Or take Sigil out of the loop and learn the sequence of steps to rezip up an epub properly. It can be easily done.
