OK, that would also mean then that only the default parameter replacement
dialog is available for the user at runtime.

When I was looking at the Pentaho documentation and source code I saw that
there was support a parameter data source. As best as I could tell this
allowed any type of data the report designer ( the user creating the report
definition)  wanted to pass in to be so passed in to the engine. Is that
feature removed from the OO.o implementation?

Correct.

In the property browser, as well as in the "Add Field" floating window,
you will not only see the names of columns, but also the names of
parameters. From there on, you handle them as if they would refer to
fields.

Of course this requires that the statement can be parsed by OOo, as
always with parameters.
