Bug ID: 173709
Summary: ODF: hyperlink office:title (accessible description)
is ignored; hint text is stored in office:name instead
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.8.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: accessibility, filter:odf, needsUXEval
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

Two links with office:title; (b) also has office:name="anchor1"
ODF has office:title on <text:a> and <draw:a> for the hyperlink's accessible
description (ODF 1.3 part 3, 19.387). LibreOffice ignores it on load and never
writes it. Instead, the dialog's "Name" is used as the tooltip and PDF
/Contents (bug 159899, bug 159924), and saved as office:name.
But office:name on <text:a> is a link target name, kept for HTML4 compatibility
only (19.380.9), and Appendix D.2 says alt text of hyperlinks shall go to
office:title.
https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part3-schema/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part3-schema.html
Steps:
1. Open the attached hyperlink-title.fodt. It has two links:
a) office:title="Example site"
b) office:name="anchor1" office:title="Another example site"
2. Save as ODT, and export as PDF with Tagged PDF.
Actual:
- office:title is dropped from both links.
- PDF /Contents: a) "example" (the link text), b) "anchor1".
Expected:
- office:title is kept.
- PDF /Contents: "Example site", "Another example site".
Suggestion: add a separate Title to hyperlinks, next to Name. Read and write it
as office:title, use it for the tooltip and PDF /Contents (falling back to Name
for old documents), and map the DOCX/PPTX tooltip to it.
Reproduced on 26.8.0.3 and on master (27.2 alpha), macOS. In 26.8.0.3, link a)
gets no /Contents at all.
