Description: After copying a PowerPoint presentation from my old Windows Office computer to my new LibreOffice PC, it won't handle hyperlinks of this sort that were built into the presentation: C:/Program Files/Audacity/Audacity.exe C:/Users/rsl/Birds/Presentations/NJAS/2018/Week5Sounds/49624.wav It is intended to open the local program Audacity and display the audiospectrogram of the local sound file 49624.wav, but, after warning that it might be dangerous (to open the executable), it says Windows can't find it. Would be nice if LibreOffice Impress could support such functionality. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Embed hyperlink as described above 2.Run Impress slideshow 3.Click on hyperlink text box on slide Actual Results: Warning issued; override warning and continue; Windows cant find.... Expected Results: Audacity would open up on screen and display the audiospectrogram of the file that was passed to it in its command line. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: MikeKaganski wrote: "The hyperlinks in LibreOffice are stored as URIs. There is no built-in mechanism in URIs designed to provide command line arguments to executables encoded as file: URIs; but it is possible to have a custom convention on that, e.g. using query part of URI for that. That needs to be implemented and documented in LibreOffice to work. You are welcome to file an enhancement request, providing a clear description of use case, and a sample of a file that works in PowerPoint - which would make it an interoperability bug, possibly with higher chance to be accepted."
