            Bug ID: 122279
           Summary: Feature Request: Hyperlink creation dialog should have
                    option to enter exact href= text that will remain
                    unmodified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Tom at SullivanInUSA.com

Description:
Feature Request: The way LibreOffice now handles hyperlinks does have some
usefulness to help avoid broken links. However, if someone knows what they are
doing or are working on a page in a location not part of a whole directory tree
of pages to which the document is linked, the present system is a real pain. I
have had to go and edit the resultant HTML with a text editor to fix links.

Thus, one of the options in the hyperlink dialog should be to use the entered
text exactly as typed. Right now, http:// is appended automatically for
internet links, for example.

Comment: Sometimes programs think they are smarter than all users all the time.
But sometimes, users need more precise and detailed control. Programs should
not get in the user's way in such cases if the user so requests.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, create a document a directory with only the document.
2. Create a relative internet hyperlink, for example, someotherpage.htm.
3. Close the hyperlink dialog.
4. Open the hyperlink dialog.
5. Observe that the link is now http?/someotherpage.htm.
6. Open the resultant HMTL in a text editor and see that that is indeed what
follows the href=

Actual Results:
See above

Expected Results:
There should have been an option to leave my link the heck alone.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
