I don't think that's something that we should really want to happen. That
would mean that in case the link wasn't found at the original location, OO
would start a search on your drives to find the file. Imagine what would
happen if you had a lot of links in your document or in a network
environment with lots of disks. And all of that just because although you
know where the file is, you want the OO to find it automatically for you.
