If you mean "is it possible to get access to the document representation behind an OLE object via API" then yes. Details depend on where you start. As an example, if you take the collection of embedded objects in Writer you can get access to each and every embedded objecht. You can retrieve the component (document) behind such an object as a property of the it and proceed with documents' API, e.g. the Calc API if the component is a Calc document. If you are processing an Excel object in a Word document you must make sure that the object is converted to Calc when the document is loaded (Tools-Options-Load/Save-MSOffice). I can't judge whether the Calc API gives you everything you need but I assume it does. I can't say anything about the images. AFAIK ambedded images are stored "as is" with no further associated information.
