Depending what broke it can be done!
I accidentally locked my keys in my car with my door handle carrier broken.

I was in Chicago and a little concerned somebody would smash my window to "get a free car" before roadside could come get me in.

I already had my replacement carrier so I used it to study how it works.

I was able to get in two ways:

1) with a flat blade skinny screwdriver: push in and poke on the Bowden cable until it pulled the lever on the actuator.

2) make a little hook with some thin metal rod: reach in and hook on the cable and pull.

Beginner's luck I got it the first try in less than 5 seconds. It took a lot more time in future attempts.
