--- Comment #24 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
This was caused somewhat unintentionally resolving mail merge features of bug
63211 -- "MAILMERGE: looses embedded image when e-mailing as html"

The UX and design side has it under consideration as bug 88038 -- "WRITER WEB:
handling of inserted images -- data URI embedding as base64 for email support,
broke LO as HTML editor"

But, point remains that HTML editing in Writer Web is misbehaving because
images are being embedded into the HTML as base64 images by default when saved
as HTML (an export filter). Ignoring/overriding settings to link the image.

Good for email merge--bad for Writer as an HTML editor.

Simple STR:

1. create File -> New -> HTML document to launch Writer Web session
2. type some text
3. insert an image
4. verify image is available as a link (Edit -> Links)
5. save close
6. reopen
7. image not available as a link (Edit -> Links), rather is embedded into the
HTML as an <img> stanza with base64 encoding.

Presently, no way to do anything except embed. Specifically can not link by
reference.

@Ciorba Edmond, could you perhaps revisit your work on bug 63211 -- where the
export to HTML filter actions are now always converting images, without regard
for Writer's dual role as an HTML editor. In that mode, Writer does better with
a document without embedding the images and so can honor the links.
