Handy workaround as I guess you can apply the technique to any object (eg hide the Link under a symbol) , although it does result in invisible entities in your LO file which may have other implications and some URLS can be crazy long… eg exporting as dwg file?
Personally I use TinyURLS to keep links short but visible… does not solve the problem of having links associated with other graphics though
Its a shame SU couldn’t allow links just as intuitively and natively as PowerPoint does… including links to bookmarks and pages within the same document… such a powerful and basic navigation capability for electronic documents!
Simple test files (I didn’t hide the URLS to make them obvious)
