Your problem is totally unrelated to my one.
You should not post any bug report unless you are sure that you found a bug.
Instead you should post to some support forum or mailing list.

I just tested on my system:
='file:///tmp/s/Untitled 1.ods'#$Sheet1.A1
=DDE("soffice";"/tmp/s/Untitled 1.ods";"Sheet1.A1")
They do not do exactly the same, but both methods work as advertised for me.
Both return the value of cell A1 on Sheet1 in the referenced file. The URL
method wods like a relative link with relative reference whereas the DDE method
with its constant strings behaves like an absolute link with an absolute
reference.
When I move the s folder to my home directory, the URL will adjust to the new
location whereas the DDE formula keeps its constant strings.
When I copy the relative URL-reference, the copied cells behave just like
relative references.

The method which is used for the "Link" option in paste-special seems to have
changed which does not mean that it is a bug. You can still use DDE.
