Description wayfarer3130 2004-01-02 21:32:50 UTC 
It would be nice if there was a way to insert an object as a URL with specified
text instead of being OLE.  The object should be a file, and the file needs to
be added to the sxw file.  Then, when the link is clicked on, a copy of the file
should be extracted somewhere and whatever the default application is for that
type of files would be started.  Alternatively, you could "save" the file to a
specified location.  Essentially this is the email attachment mechanism, but
added to documents instead of email.

The use for this is to allow additional information to be added to a document
when there isn't really any OLE type mechanism available to support embedding
the file directly in the document.  It is also useful to allow files to be
embedded on Linux and other operating systems that don't support OLE, but may
support applications other than the Open Office ones.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
