In an OpenOffice descendant application it is Insert->Object->Ole Object
Than choose from file and insert your ODF text file.

A frame will be added for instance in my example it looked like:
<draw:frame draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="Objekt1"
text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="21.001cm" svg:height="13.386cm"
draw:z-index="0">
<draw:object xlink:href="./Object 1" xlink:type="simple"
xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
<draw:image xlink:href="./ObjectReplacements/Object 1"
xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
</draw:frame>
Where "Object 1" was the name of the directory of the embedded file (the
directory containing the content.xml, etc.)
NOTE: In ODF the surrounding frame element provides the view frame only.
The children are view options the application might chose.
For instance, above it is first an draw:object, but in case the ODF
application do not know about OLE objects, the second child the
draw:image will be shown.
[It is quite similar to the HTML 5 <video> tag, which includes multiple
<source> elements of the same video in different codecs.]
You may find the ODF 1.2 spec documentation here
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#element-draw_frame
To know if there is any existing functionality in the ODF Toolkit, I
searched for DrawFrameElement, as <draw:frame> would be mapped to that
typed DOM class.
But charts are usually added as embedded document, therefore you might
look at the simple API and the chart test case, but what suited best was
searching for "DrawFrameElement" in the simple API tests (i.e.
odftoolkit20140415\simple\src\test\java\org\odftoolkit\simple) and take
a look at the DocumentCreationTest
especially at the addImageToDocument(..) function as draw:object is
quite similar to draw:image.
PS: A better API should hopefully be available later this year, when I
merge my change-tracking changes into the repository.. (do not wait!) ;)
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Svante
