FWIW, I just tried it in LO 6.1.5.2 under Debian Linux 10 and it worked as you
said, without an error message, and with the very misleading appearance of the
absolute path in LO (but with the relative path appearing in content.xml).

Hi Dave,
I have now used an English UI, and now the correct fields. Open Hyperlink-dialog, click
Document. Click "Open File" button at the ride side of the Document Path field.
I have tried with system open file dialog and with LO's own dialog. It works in
both cases. Ctrl-click opens e.g. a linked .odt file in LibreOffice.
I work on Windows 10. What OS do you use? Perhaps there is an error in Linux?
I just tried in UbuntuStudio 20.04.1 with LO 6.4.5.2 and the procedure works
fine as Regina said.
But as Robert says, too, the path is indicated in the absolute form in the
Document Path field. Right clicking on the link and selecting Edit Hyperlink
also shows an absolute path. But inspection of content.xml confirms that the
path is relative.
If the file with the hyperlink is moved to a different directory, the link
updates showing again an absolute path as though the linked file has also been
moved. But, of course, the link no longer works because it was relative and all
the files concerned are no longer in the same directory.
I rechecked on a Windows10 box (up to date) with LO 6.3.5.2 and the behaviour
is exactly the same, showing an absolute path when really it is relative.
Indicating an absolute path in the linking dialogue is misleading.
