No, only to a cell or a page. Remember this is OpenOffice.org Calc, not

And by far more important: it is not OpenOffice.org Base where you can
store things like catalog data (including pictures as "cell values")
and create catalogues by means of the Oracle Report Builder AddOn.

Yes, but I am not used to OpenOffice.org Base.

Still, no matter if there are better ways or not, I think this is a bug.
Why anchor to a cell if the image won't follow sort? And, as far as I
heard, Excel can do this… (but I can't use Excel since Excel lacks the
most important feature: Multi operating system support).




Well, that was a problem even with cell annotations until 2.3(?) where it has been fixed. This kind of problem seems to be very hard to fix for other shapes. Spreadsheets are not intended to do such things (hey, they name it "Calc"). Pictures are meant to be decorative or explanatory in respect to the sheet, not in respect to contained database data. Excel is the one and only spreadsheet program which encourages its users to misuse it as a database. Millions of users did even learn VBA to make this dream come true with devastating consequences for the overall busines IT. In the forum topic you linked in the issue report, there is another hyperlink to a hyperlink solution. Simply store a file name together with some descriptive name and compose a hyperlink by means of a formula.
