The import settings control the import of embedded documents of specified
formats, not more. The links are standalone documents that are not really a part
of loaded document so they are not converted on import, and not affected by the
settings.

The linked document could be opened in OOo in case the system does not support
MS links as in case of Linux, that would be a nice feature. But this feature
needs a new implementation in the import filter or in the OLE handling itself,
so that the link object is parsed and converted to OOo link. We would probably
need an additional entry in import settings to control import of the linked
objects in this case. But I am not sure that this feature is worth the efforts.

Anyway, the MS links are currently handled as they are ( as any other MSOLE
object except the objects that can be imported ). They are just imported on
document open and stored on storing, so that no information is lost. They can be
used, but only on Windows systems, as any other non converted MSOLE object.
