Hmmm, that reminds me of http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/WishList#toc10
I've written a variation on that, which is attached. To use it from
the command line to view bar.txt in ~/foo.zip:
emacs --eval '(extract-find-file "~/foo.zip" "bar.txt")

(progn (extract-find-file ...) (goto-line N))

Don't you mean: a position (line number) within a file, within an
archive?
If you really do mean a line number within an archive, you would just
need to arrange for Emacs to visit the archive in Fundamental mode
instead of Archive mode (via auto-mode-alist).
