When extracting RAR-files, those that contain a single file but are split in multiple RAR-files, after selecting where to extract the file I get another dialog saying that the Mac OS X sandbox is blocking access and I need to click Search to continue.

This is obviously due the the sandbox. But if I understand the sandbox correctly it should be possible to say that a given file has a dependency on one or several other files and the user doesn't need to select those. For example, a text document may contain an image but the document only contains a reference to the actual image. This is how TextEdit works with the RTF format.

I think this is called "Related item", there's a video from WWDC 2012, "The OS X App Sandbox", that talks about this problem. It's around 33:30 minutes into the video clip.
