Description findingabug@gmail.com 2014-05-28 11:39:25 UTC
To replicate:
1. Open a Writer document
2. Insert a Calc document(OLE Table)
3. In a cell insert a hyperlink to a website (Ctrl+K)
4. Ctrl + klick on the link to open it or right klick / open hyperlink

Result: nothing happens
Expected result: hyperlink opens a website

This has been tested in Writer on an inserted Calc document and in Calc on an inserted Writer document. None of this works.

confirmed in 7.2.7.2 when inserting ods as OLE object in an odt or odp.

Neither in odt when not actively editing the OLE object nor in exported pdf can the hyperlinks from inside the OLE spreadsheet be clicked or ctrl+clicked, the context menu doesn’t have the hyperlink options either.
None of the hyperlinks included in the spreadsheet cells give any URL when hovering over with the mouse as long as the OLE object is not in edit mode.
Any hyperlink outside the OLE object in the same document works as intended though.
