How do you do that? The correct way would be:
1.   Select "Document" in the left part of the dialog
2.   If it is not inside the same document, click on the Browse button at the right side of the "Path" field of the "Document" section and select the document.
3.   Click on the button at the right side of the field "Target" in the "Target in Document" section. You get a list of possible targets.
4.   Double-click the desired target in the list.

You want to open something in a frame by clicking on an hyperlink? In older OpenOffice.org versions you would have find the frame name in the drop-down list, in case you would have uses a _floating_ frame. But as far a I know, changing the content in the floating has never worked that way.

It seems, that the content of this field is set in the target-attribute of the <a> element in an exported html-document. But using a custom frame name has never worked, because the needed html-element <frameset> was not supported in OpenOffice.org.

Do you know a version, where it was possible to manually enter a target name and get the effect you want to get?

thank you for the swift responses
much appreciated

I'm new to Libreoffice,
so do Not have much own references
to previous usage experiences

the screenshot refers to what
appears provided upon the softwares UX

in addition, oneself refers to materials 
provided via the online help resources

the reference to online materials
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Internet

under the title: Further settings
and subtitle: Frame
it states:
"Enter the name of the frame that you want the linked file to open in, or select a predefined frame from the list. If you leave this box blank, the linked file opens in the current browser window."

the way oneself have read this information,
is that "the linked file" may refer to any sort of file-type,
especially due ", the linked file opens in the current browser window."
..as that then to my mind conclude as an HTML "frame name" 
(eg. "name=name-of-the-frame" - ie, 'iFrame' )

sorry if misread the help materials, and misunderstood the UX,
maybe "Frame" never account for anything else than what the term
may refer to in regard of Libreoffice internal architecture
..but then one wonders, how come there is the option provided
upon the UX and in such context as with the URL above it?


again, much thanx for all support
/Just me

PS: not currently using the Writer HTML editor,
instead only Writer and then export as PDF, which
thereafter was hoped to provide akin "targer="frame-name"
as a functionality written to the PDF

After reading comment 5, I'm ever more confused about this issue.
@Regina, should it be closed as RESOLVED NOTABUG?

There are indeed bugs

(a) If you have a floating frame and enter its name manually, this information is correctly written to file, but not visible in the document, as reported here.

(b) The file has the correct reference in the attribute office:target-frame-name and the correct value xlink:show="replace" in the <text:a> element, but the replacement does not work.
The description about that attribute is http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#attribute-office_target-frame-name.
I'm not sure, that it had worked in any LibreOffice version, especially the part "If the named frame does not exist, a new frame with that name is created." is suspect.
 
(c) This feature corresponds to "iframe" in HTMl. But if you insert a floating frame and save the document to HTML, there is no "iframe" generated but a faulty img-element, so that the hyperlink does not work, although it has the correct target attribute. In export to XHMTL the iframe element and the target attribute  in the <a> element are missing. Same question, has it ever worked? Does it work for other exports, EPUB or PDF e.g.?

(d) The help text is very unclear about the intended use case.

Given the fact, that it is not clear whether (b) or (c) had worked, it sounds more like a WONTFIX. Perhaps we can add a warning to the help files and remove the not working parts from the UI.
