How do I get the outer cover off to get to the locking mechanism?
Re: door latch has broken and is stuck inside locking...
I'm not familiar with non-US models, but you would probably have to use needle nose pliers to pull it out.
If that won't work, you'd have to remove the outer cover of the oven, and then you can see how the door latch heads (the hook-like devices sticking out of the door) interact with the door latches and the opening mechanism.
Then you can call AEG at the number in your manual to see if they will sell replacement parts.
If you don't have the manual / IFU, then I would suggest contacting the manager at the dealership from which you purchased the oven to see if they have contact info for AEG.
To replace your latch heads, normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.

Please state the exact model number of the microwave. Also by broken plastic hook are you referring to the door latching mechanism? Please carify by adding a comment.
theres a small plastic hook inside the door which holds a tension spring this will have snapped off stopping the latch from entering the lock its actually quite easy to fix the inner plastic frame can be unclipped with a small flat blade screwdriver exposing the hook mechanism and the spring will be lying in the bottom of the door frame you can reconnect it to the metal inner frame it stretches the spring a little more but it will never snap again ive done this loads of times with no probs otherwise you will have to replace the outer door to reinstate the broken hook.
I have a semmins microwave working in great condition, last night the latch mechanism inside the microwave don't allow the door latch to close.Only the top portion, bottom portion is ok.
Do you still have the piece that broke off? If so, you may be able to use two part epoxy to glue it back in place. I did this with a colaric MW and it did the trick. The latch was hook shaped and made from a hard plastic.
