Created attachment 116473 [details] Ods file with a single named range.
Created attachment 116474 [details] Ods file with a link to the other attached. Opening both attached files. Update the link opening the Untitled11.dos. Link works fine. Trying to change the '$Sheet1.A1' part of the link change the formula by 'datarange': from ='file:///G:/Users/MARV/Downloads/_Test/Untitled12.ods'#$Sheet1.A1 to ='file:///G:/Users/MARV/Downloads/_Test/Untitled12.ods'#file:///G:/Users/MARV/Downloads/_Test/Untitled12.ods Now not possible use the name of the range even without INDIRECT().
The bug is present in LO 5.1.3.2 on Windows 7. LO 4.4.5.2 on Windows7 works fine.
