Is there anyway I can embed an existing Writer document into another

At present when I do Insert => object => OLE and then I create from
file the "embedded" document colonises the document that I am trying
to embed into ... basically like a glorified copy-and-paste of the
content. I only want the file embedded and double clicked to open
... like an attachment. I know that MS Office Word can do this, but
don't see any way of doing this in OOo.
o Go to Insert | Hyperlink.
o In the left panel, select Document.
o Under Document, click the Open File button (to the right of the Path box).
o Browse to and select the required document.
o Under "Further settings", against Form, select Text or Button as desired.
o Against Text, enter the text to appear as the link or in the link button.
o Click Apply and Close.
For a text hyperlink:
o To use, Ctrl+click the hyperlink text.
For a button hyperlink:
o Right-click the button and use the context menu items to control
position, size, anchoring, wrapping, and so on.
o Go to View | Toolbars > | Form Controls.
o Click Design Mode On/Off to turn Design Mode off.
o To use, click the button.
I trust this helps.
