I think cordova.file.applicationDirectory is what you are after.
For example on iOS and Android I would do:
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + 'www/data/filename.doc', win, fail);
And on Windows (8 anyway) which confused me for a while, I would do:
Windows.Storage.StorageFile.getFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Windows.Foundation.Uri(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + 'www/data/filename.doc')).done(gotControls, fail);
Make sure you have the two file plugins installed also:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer
Hope that helps.
EDIT: I have just read this again and realised you just wanted to open the files, the above is still relevant for the file paths but I would look into using this open plugin: https://github.com/disusered/cordova-open to actually open the files, I have not tried it with a .doc file before but it will work with .pdf files.
This can be called as:
var open = cordova.plugins.disusered.open;
open(encodeURI(url), success, error);
