Our 18000 Linux clients have KDE desktop installed with “folder ” layout. On
such KDE desktops it is very easy to create desktop shortcuts. The user just
clicks on the LibreOffice file, moves it to the desktop and clicks “move here”
on the pop-up-menu. That's it.
Creating a desktop shortcut on a KDE desktop is even easer than on MS Windows
or at least as easy as there. Thence many of our LibreOffice users make use of
desktop shortcuts and as a result I received those  bug reports.

>From users point of view LibreOffice should be able to handle hyperlinks
independently of the underlying operating system. It has been much easier to
fix this issue in LibreOffice -> https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/27544/ 
than to ask all the Linux desktop developers to fix it there. But even this is
not the whole truth: just make a test with Firefox and a relative HTML link and
you will see that only LibreOffice is not able to resolve relative paths (as
most users expect).

I agree with you: The handling of relative paths should be discussed in the ODF
standardization group. However, with closing my bug report as NOTABUG or
NOTOURBUG this issue became invisible to the LibreOffice community and will be
forgotten soon...
