As of version 3.5.2, there is no way to combine Open String and Multiple Dots in Fretboard Diagram.
This use case falls under the same criteria as multiple dots for fretted strings: for either sequential playing or alternative fingerings.

This can be achieved if the Open String symbol "O" was treated the same way as a regular (fretted) dot, when it is applied with Ctrl.

Currently, when Open String is applied (with or without Ctrl), any fretted dots are automatically removed.

I recall this request on French forum: https://musescore.org/fr/node/313238
Translation of the wished use case, I quote the comment : "The MuseScore diagram editor is designed to represent chords but also scales.
Here, the chord arpeggio is in fact like a scale whose notes I want to represent. And it just so happens that some of these notes are open strings."

I am sure to have seen some others on English Forum.
