Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 42334
The hyperlink of a picture is not shown in Hyperlink dialog
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Open a web page in writer. Select a picture with a hyperlink attached to it. i. Go to Format > Character > Hyperlink -- the box is empty, though the picture has an hyperlink attached to it. ii. Go to Insert > Hyperlink --- Here also there is no entry of the hyperlink. Further the context menu doesn't show picture related menu items. Somewhere the link should be shown?
The Hyperlink dialog was not designed toi handle graphics. Only possible to insert Hyperlink in text/button form.
I think OO.o allows to insert a hyperlink to a picture. Try this. Insert a picture from the gallery. Right click the picture > Graphics...> Hyperlink option is very much there. Type in some URL. press escape key to take the focus off the picture. Mouse over the picture. The hand comes up. click it. the url will open in the default browser. Once, you insert a link, you cannot edit it. This is somewhat tricky. So please allow the relevant context menu items.
