Such links would have to be saved in "ODF 1.3 extended" using an own namespace,
and they would be lost if saving in "ODF 1.3".

Yes, other applications would ignore the links.
<span class="quote">> C) Something else?</span >
It is possible, but the way is long. First LibreOffice has to implement it in
its own namespace, then LibreOffice makes a proposal to the OASIS ODF TC, and
then -I estimate- it would take at least three years to get the change finally
into the standard.</pre>
