I also would like to see an 'absolute/relative' option mark on hyperlinks.
In addition, I believe the actual hyperlink stored should not look like an
absolute hyperlink, when it is really a relative one. Unfortunately, as far as I
know, there is no relative URL specification: file:///... is always absolute,
but this should really be changed. It is extremely confusing to see an absolute
URL, but the software handles it relative.

Moreover, OOo does not convert automatically to a relative path everywhere!
Data links from a form to a Base file for example, are always absolute. This
behaviour should be changed, so a Base Database file and its interface (a Writer
file) can be distributed together, without having to set the link again on every
computer, when a central database is not needed or wanted. For example, we would
keep such a Writer/Base file pair for some simple database in our office on an
SVN server, but each use would have to have a different (absolute) link in his
Writer file, making it impossible to store the Writer file on SVN. A relative
link would solve the problem.

In turn the same goes for the data sources in Base themselves. Although with a
DBMS the link will be normally an absolute one, with file based databases (like
Sqlite) a relative link will be generally more useful.
