Current behaviour:
* OOoWebWriter always shows absolute path (to image for example)
* OOoWW saves the doc with absolute path or relative depending what settings 
are used

I find this counterintuitive and the old mantra-acronym is violated -- WYSIWYG.

I would suggest:
* OOoWW settings -- how the OOoWW should handle (i.e. display, save) path
* OOoWW SHOWS and saves path depending what settings are used

So, if I would like to work with relative path, when I link to image from 
current directory, I will see "image.png" so I would be sure it is relative, 
not "/home/macias/..../image.png" which would later be translated.

Advantages:
* WYSIWYG maintained
  + no need to check the saved doc if it is correct
  + valuable visual feedback right away
* more intuitive way to handle links
* one step less, or more exactly no additional steps
