Brian, I just tested what you said.
Indeed, when the cell contents is selected (cursor before content, the move over it with 'shift/right arrow'), the content is available when opening the dialogue both from the button (which I never spotted in the first place :-) and from menu insert > hyperlink (⌘K). From the menu this is not very intuitive, I think. When I went to the save preferences, the option for relative path was already set (apparently it is the default). Since it is not displayed in the dialogue this way, I just didn't think that it would automagically be right. Next time no assumptions, just test first! Thank you for your clear answer, Rob.
