It was purposely changed:

Abstract
Hyperlinks are used to point to another source of data and are commonly
known on web pages. In a web browser those links are being executed on a
left mouse click. They are also used inside classic documents like text
documents, spreadsheets, drawings or presentations. In classical
documents those active hyperlinks often prevents the user from editing
the textual content of the document or link representation in the
document, because the hyperlink is being executed on a left mouse click
performed to place the cursor in the document content. This
specification defines the handling of hyperlinks in OOo to improve
editing of document content.
