I don't understand. For mail addresses there is the prefix "mailto:", for files
there is "file:":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

So it must be possible to insert a relative file hyperlink with the file:
prefix. I mean LO should allow what the official URI definition allows.

(I stumbled over this issue because I wanted to input a video link to my
presentation. Unfortunately the video codec is not supported by LO. Therefore
the idea was to insert a relative file hyperlink. This will trigger the default
video program on the PC where I run my presentation.)
