Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
inside a document, if you want to link to another document, it appears
you have only one option; to use the absolute path to that document.
this is problematic in that if you want to mail the master document and
all the linked documents, all the links will break.
the help documents indicate that toggling 'save urls relative to file
system' should absolve this requirement. in reality, i do not see that
it does anything at all.
example: a document at /home/user/Desktop/client/doc_for_client.odt
linking to another file from within that document creates a link to
/home/user/Desktop/client/linked_document.odt
if those two documents are put into a zip [client.zip] and sent to
client, when that client unzips them to C:\Documents and
Settings\clientuser\Desktop\client\ though the documents will work
individually, a link from within them will fail, as it will still be
attempting to reach /home/user/Desktop/client/ . . . rather than
C:\Documents and Settings\clientuser\Desktop\client . . .
