Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 105218
Save as… (Aqua native) does not allow to follow aliases of folders.

In Aqua native filepicker it is not possible to select/follow an alias of a folder in "Save as…"-Dialog. Step by step: Create an alias of a folder somewhere. Be sure not to use OOo-dialogs but the aqua native one (Preferences > OpenOffice.org > General), Open or create a new OOo document. Try "Save" (or "save as…" with an existing one) and try to select the alias of that folder to save it into the referenced folder - the alias is grayed and nothing will happen. Expected behavior: Click on the alias opens the referenced folder like the folder symbol itself would do. btw: OOo filepicker will do it right (except of not showing filenames of non-OOo-files at all - next issue :-) ) Selecting an alias of a file instead of that of a folder, the name of the alias will be inserted into the "Save as" text field which determines the name of the file to save; this is the expected behavior. Open…-Dialog is working fine with folder aliases.
