--- Comment #6 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
In Calc, the "hyperlink" cell style is intended for the cases where Calc does
*not* apply the hyperlink formatting automatically: e.g., for a column of
formulas like '=HYPERLINK("www.example.org?q="&A1)'. Setting that column to
that style helps the formatting, and is perfectly logical.

But for automatically applied text run formatting, the colors are taken from
Options->LibreOffice->Application Colors (Unvisited/Visited links). I don't
know if there's a way to define the other properties of hyperlink text - but I
don't expect spreadsheet to provide too flexible ways to format parts of cells,
which is anyway only possible manually on per-cell basis, while in all other
aspects, spreadsheet documents are about bulk operations involving same
formulas, formatting, etc in thousands of cells... (But yes, if this is out of
user control at least in some way, like the formatting applied automatically,
it's not good.)

Actually I would love to see "Application Colors" to transform into
"Application Formatting", with each element presenting not only color, but also
other applicable properties, e.g. font and background. Then defining the look
and feel of an auto-applied hyperlink formatting could be done in a single
place. (But it's an off-topic, I realize.)
