See who has a file Open on SharePoint online

Hey guys,
I have a client who is using Office 365 SharePoint online.  They want to know if there is a way to see who currently has a file open.  I have reached out to Microsoft Support about this and Microsoft themselves does not have a solution for this, but I was given some third party tools to try, but they did not seem to help.  I am wondering if anyone here has any ideas.  Thanks

The only thing remotely near this is to check Audit Logs for who read what and when (or edited). That would need to be enabled in advance of any query so the info were captured.
Thanks for your input guys.  Honestly this was the answer I was expecting to get, but I thought I wanted to do everything I can to try to find an answer.
The answer is that there is no solution is a valid answer
Ok I won't delete it but I'm not sure who's answer to mark as best solution.
It makes the most sense.
