You can not misuse a spreadsheet like this and expect that it works in 2

support but nobody believes that MS will go that far.
Needless to say that no spreadsheet application will ever work like a
database.
This would be very easy to implement with a Base database and a few
lines of macro code.
I know that, ultimately we will transfer our data to a database. But during
the process of entering data it is easier for the different users to use the
well-know spreadsheet software :)
Anyway: Shouldn't Calc be able to work with relative hyperlinks correctly?
I am puzzled by the sharing of the spreadsheet. Are the files stored on
a server with a fixed location or they passed out to users to install
locally?
Also, I would try setting up the linked files in a sub-folder of the
spreadsheet folder. If the the spreadsheet is in folder Project the
sub-folder would be Project/Files
See the following from the LO help

The following rules apply: A relative reference
("graphic/picture.gif") is only possible when both files exist on
the same drive. If the files are on different drives in your local
file system, the absolute reference follows the "file:" protocol
("file:///data1/xyz/picture.gif"). If the files are on different
servers or if the target of the link is not available, the absolute
reference uses the "http:" protocol ("http://data2/abc/picture.gif";).
