Power query XLSX

MSO supports Power Query [1].
Example of XLSX with Power Query set is attached, taken from [2].

When such XLSX is resaved in LO, MSO does not recognize query. 
So it is data loss.
If data od query is not changed, LO should keep it so that MSO opens it.

As Calc does not have it implemented, it is probably not even imported.

But you are right that it would be nice if it was preserved when opening/saving.

It seems to me more like a request for enhancement than a bug.
