Description David Melik 2022-08-27 03:23:21 UTC
Description:
Most URIs can't be hyperlinked: besides FTP, HTTP, older ones are 'MAILTO:', 'NNTP://' & 'NEWS://', 'IRC://', and (though little-used) maybe TELNET and so many newer ones I doubt I can count but can be found such as in the official text file of protocols assigned to many of 65,536 TCP/IP ports (HTTP, etc.,  being in there).  At least somewhat more-common URIs such as the ones I mentioned (and others) should be hyperlinkable (but eventually most/all URIs though FILE:// sometimes/often is only useful to users of the same computer... web browsers have some of their own internally that aren't universal either).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to add other hyperlink.

Actual Results:
Can't add other hyperlinks.

Expected Results:
Should add other hyperlinks.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Add other hyperlinks, and if there are too many, just allow user-definability.  This may affect most/all LibreOffice programs but I found it in Writer.

Hi David, thank you for your enhancement request. "mailto:" works. I don't know the other hyperlinks, so I can't test them. If you add some exapmles of those hyperlinks, I will test them.

Comment 2 David Melik 2022-09-20 02:45:30 UTC
Good.  In future; not yet besides standard (in related/such Internet Engineering Task First (IETF.org) Requests for Comments (RFCs)) example.com.

news://news.example.com
nntp://news.example.com/news.groups
irc://irc.example.com
ssh://user@example.com

common for IRC bots:
telnet://127.0.0.1

was common; recommended don't except to a local host (SSH for remote):
telnet://user:password@example:port

It's unlikely example.com hosts such services/servers/daemons if you want to test (unnecessary for this enhancement... all URIs are in Internet RFCs).

Comment 4 Dieter 2022-09-20 05:54:48 UTC
Tested with

Version: 7.4.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 3c58a8f3a960df8bc8fd77b461821e42c061c5f0
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Results:
Hyperlinks seems to work with NEWS, NNTP and IRC (but it seems, that I don't have the correct app to open it).
Hyperlink doesn't work for SSH and TELNET

But I think, it needs a user with more experience in this field for testing.

Not sure, if this is a question for design-team to decide.

I don't think we need one-click interaction with networking applications. It's pretty simple to copy/paste, if needed.
