Nope no idea for this one D: Is it the cable thats broke or the lever has just come off the side of the car?

Move the carpet a bit and pull on the cable with pliers or something. Thats what I had to with the golf after a major fail...removed the handle but then closed the bonnet properly lol.

What came off? The lever? The whole unit that bolts to the side of the shell?
Is the cable still attached ?

As for a method to open it. Reach under the bumper and up and you can reach the cable from there
Give it a good yank then it should open

as tom says, pull the cable with pliers. if not phills idea will work but its easier reaching up with a breaker bar
