Description Marc Bessières 2019-09-27 09:15:44 UTC 
Description:
When a docx containing a relative link to another document is saved in html, then the href tag is empty

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In attachment you can find 2 files, document_linking.docx and linked_document.docx. document_linking.docx contains a relative link to linked_document.docx
2. Place both files in the same directory then you can click on the link in document_linking.docx and it'll open linked_document.docx

3. Save document_linking.docx in html format
File -> Save As... -> HTML document (Writer) (.html)

Comment 3 Dieter 2019-10-02 06:08:29 UTC 
I couldn't follow the steps, because when I click on link in step 2 I recieve the warning "file:///C:/Users/.../.../../linked_document.docx" is not an absolute URL that can be passed to an external application to open it."
