Hobbiest here.

Not aware of a way from the IDE but you may be aware that if you hold down the Shift key when you do a compile you'll get some extra output showing the tools used, temp-file locations and files generated for the compile.

As long as the IDE is up and running the temp directory and generated files will exist. So from the command line 'cd' to the temp directory where an 'ls' (UNIX/LINUX) or DIR (Windows) will give you a list of files generated, including the '.hex' file.

Have fun!

Is there a doc on how to use the mplabx but retain the arduino language?

Wiring, the Arduino language, is C++ based and unfortunately MPLAB X, or any version of MPLAB, does not do C++.

You miight want to check out the form topic:

A newer and easier way to debug chipKIT MPIDE sketches from MPLAB.

I think this is a link to the topic:

And yes, if you hit shift+verify, one of the outputs will be a .hex file and you can go to the temporary directory and get that .hex file.
