--- Comment #1 from David Walton <dkwalton...@gmail.com> ---
The native Microsoft Access database is the only database I know of that has a
formal, named hyperlink field type (data type) which can be used for a web
destination, email address, file or folder location, and so on. (By "named" I
mean the hyperlink has a text field which is displayed with a color and is
often underlined and or highlighted.)

LibreOffice Calc has a hyperlink data type (of sorts) that can be entered into
any cell (regardless of cell's base type). Writer hyperlinks can be a text type
or use a graphic. So why not a hyperlink data type in Base's native database?

If Base had a hyperlink data type, it would free us Access slaves from the grip
of Microsoft's cruel, ill-advised, frustrating, non-intuitive, and just plain
ugly "modern" user interfaces.

So I come begging the LibreOffice development community to free us as soon as
possible with a hyperlink data type for Base. If Microsoft can do it, surely
the folks at LibreOffice can too.
