As promised here the information on how I created a work-around.

Copied slides for custom shows into a special section of the presentation after the last slide of the main presentation.
Created a text (name of a custom show) and used interaction with "go to page".
Used slide 1 of the custom show as target.
At the last slide of the custom show I added the text "return". Using interaction "go to page" and jumped back to the page from where I started the custom show.

Disadvantage against MSO:
- One needs to create an interaction to return; in MSO one can just flag return 
to start (or similar)
- The slide from which one jumps to the custom show will start from the 
beginning.

I just hope that there is an enhancement in the near future.

Thanks for the hints

'hiding' is not an option as I want to stay in presentation mode

Using your URL approach could be a possible work around, I was thinking in the meantime about using 'interaction' and do a similar thing. Need to some testing and will post the result. It might take me a few days.

        Have you considered 'hiding' these slides --> if you wish to have
them seen, just click on 'show' these -
            if they're not desired, the presentation will skip over them;
or
        insert a URL which, when you click it, would send you to these
slides - when you wish to return to the main show, click on the URL within
this sub-show -

        Hoping this helps,

Hi and thanks for the first reply.
I intend to show the custom show depending on the discussion in my (main)
presentation.
Imagine following sequence:
- In my presentation I am showing slide N,
- Because and only because of the discussion I want to show 2 slides
additionally and then return to my slide N. (I grouped these 2 slides in a
custom show and call it CustShow.)
- Now I want to click on text or button to open the CustShow.
- After the last slide of the CustShow I want to show again slide N of the
(main) presentation.

I keep the slides for my custom shows at the end of my main presentation
in a section I call "LinkedSlides"

In Impress I looked into "interaction" and "hyperlink" but could not find
a way to show CustShow and return to my slide N from where I wanted to
branch.

Let me please also explain what I did in In MS PowerPoint:before I
switched over to LO
- created a custom show
- created a text box or button at the slide from where I wanted to start
the custom show
- hyperlinked text box (or button) with the custom show and set a flag to
return to the starting slide in the main presentation.

         Are you perchance referring to placing a URL link within the show;
             if so, then that's what you do - when you click on it, then
that
site will open up.

         If instead you're referring to placing a slide show within a slide
show,
             then just add the additional slides where you wish them to
appear.

         If neither, then please explain further.

Where did I make a mistake?
Could someone please tell me how to run a custom show within a slide

Thanks in advance!
