--- Comment #12 from Alan <[email protected]> ---
The "Save As..." dialog should have a check box to output hyperlink values.
When checked, the hyperlink value should be output as a separate field
immediately following the cell's text value. For example: ..., amazon site,
https://www.amazon.com, ...

The default should be NOT to output hyperlinks so that those moving data from
one spreadsheet to another will not have unexpected results. Only those who
need the hyperlinks will choose to output them by checking that option.

I fully understand that if the hyperlink value is read back into a spreadsheet
it will appear in a separate cell and will not be a hyperlink. This is NOT an
issue.

The purpose for output of the hyperlink's value is for processing external to
the spreadsheet.

Note that both HTML and XML output output the hyperlink. It is inconsistent
that the hyperlink is output for these formats but not for CSV.

A question that arises is: Should the dialog option to save the hyperlinks also
apply to HTML and XML output? Or do you leave that as is?
