My understanding is that the “hidden” attribute only affects visibility of the file, and does not affect your ability to access the file as long as you actually know its full path. Certainly, if you know where a hidden file is, you can navigate to it by typing the full path name and file name into Explorer.
See this article at Bleeping Computer for a little more information. Also, check out the Wikipedia entry on hidden files.
