@Alex:
The bug that you mentioned is work in progress, like this one (maybe the two
are related, I'm not the one to judge about this). The other two links are to
the OpenOffice forum, not to any bug tracker.
I don't see how we could possible debate about whether this should be a bug
submission or a feature request. There is a check-box about this in Options,
that lets the user decide whether LibreOffice should store the relative or the
absolute path of the reference. This check-box is well documented inside Help,
as stated by m.a.riosv above. There is no "poor design choice" (BTW, the exact
phrase at the tutorial's point 6 was "not good programming"), something doesn't
work and needs to be reported in order to be fixed.
It's a serious bug, in my opinion, because it prevents people from using
LibreOffice the way that the tutorial you mentioned does. The workaround
provided by the tutorial at point 6 is not good enough, because it "requires a
setup in user's machine, not just a file copying", as I stated in my
description.
I'm reverting this to "bug", instead of "RFE".
