I inserted a link to another pdf file. That works, if I click the link the other file is opened. Here's the weird thing. I don't seem able to edit the text value, nor the path. If I right click there's not something as edit (the link). Also in the menu I can't find something like 'edit link'. Am I missing something?
I think you need first either to put the cursor immediately to the left of the hyperlink or to select the hyperlink text itself - which you cannot do simply by clicking or double-clicking, of course. Then you can open the Hyperlink dialogue either by clicking the Hyperlink button in the Standard toolbar or by going - perhaps somewhat counterintuitively - to Insert | Hyperlink. You may find it easier to open the Hyperlink dialogue first and then navigate to the hyperlink in the cell: the dialogue will populate when you reach the right point. If the cell contains only the hyperlink, you need only to select the cell.
If change the path to a relative path (as from the location of the calc file) I get an error message when clicking the link. The message says: LibreOffice could not find a web browser on your system. Please check your Desktop Preferences or install a web browser (for example, Firefox) in the default location requested during the browser installation.
LibreOffice always display absolute paths, since this is the way it operates internally. Your choice to have a relative path is a matter of what is stored in the document file when it is saved; if you want the path to be relative, you need to make this choice at Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General | Save | Save URLs relative to file system. (Oh, on your Mac OS system, that's at LibreOffice | Preferences | Load/Save ... .) If you create the link in the normal way and have this setting ticked when you save the document, the link will behave as a relative link when the document is reopened. In other words, if the document file is moved the absolute file path that would then be displayed would be appropriately different.
The message about a browser implies that your hyperlink is now being treated as an internet link instead of a document one. This may be because you have selected Internet instead of Document in the Hyperlink dialogue, but perhaps you have just attempted to edit the document path inappropriately - losing its leading "file:///" - and confused LibreOffice.
I trust this helps.
