Xperia XZ Completely broken screen data recovery.

So I tripped the other day, fell and did a number on my poor little Xperia. The screen is completely oblitterated, smashed glass shredded LCD pannel.
I have a load of files on this phone, game data, fitness tracker data and pictures that aren't backed up. I've tried dr.phone and the Sony companion but can't get very far as the finger print sensor is unresponsive and the broken screen means that I can't enter the passcode or select the option to file transfer.

Is there any way to get hold of my files? I'll even take gutting the thing to get to them if that's an option.

You will need a USB OTG cable + mouse > connect the mouse to your phone > restart the phone > you will be able to use the mouse as your finger.

How's that supposed to work given that I can't actually see anything on the screen?
