A small correction: ".." is not a wildcard, but a relative path element.

In fact, this is not true. The URL is passed unchanged to the ShellExecuteExW,
and this is the limitation of *system* call that it disallows the relative
parts in the URL.

IMO this is NOTABUG, and was working previously just by accident, because
LibreOffice had pre-processed the URL (and that was wrong, since the idea
behind XSystemShellExecute::execute is pass the argument to system shell
unchanged).

The author of the extension (Jorg) likely should use a call to ConvertFromURL
[1] and pass the system path to the execute() call, which would succeed.

Stephan could correct me if I am wrong here; adding him to CC.
