Will exiftool pick up an xmp sidecar with same image name with standard dump to text commands?

Example: if IMG_001.heic and IMG_001.xmp exist - then will "exiftool -s IMG_001.heic" pull XMP tags from the sidecar?

No.  Exiftool will only read one file at a time, either the image or the sidecar.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
