In Win XP pro/SP2 using the calc of OO 2.0.3
- put the cursor in the cell you want,

over the cell
- click Apply
- click Close
I assume, given that OO is designed to be cross platform, that this
works in a very similar, if not identical way on other OS's. If it
doesn't work like this in versions earlier than 2.0.3 (the latest) then
that's a good reason to upgrade ;-)
On Windows the type of the document (as specified by the filename's
extension) will determine what program opens the file when you click the
cell. Not sure how this is handled on *nix; mime types I assume.
Hope this helps.

OK, this works differently in OOo1 and OOo2. The latter does not support
relative paths any more.
Hyperlink by formula, which is easier to maintain:
A1: file://path/to/report.odt
B1: Report
C1: =HYPERLINK(A1;B1)
Both methods will fail if report.odt is embedded in the database.
