"Forrest indirect link" in an OpenOffice document

Hi,

Is it possible to add Forrest's indirect links (<link href="site:todo">)
in an OpenOffice document which is used by Forrest.

When I want to add a link in OpenOffice I'have got 3 linking types :
Internet, Document or New Document. Besides I cannot enter the character
":" in the url path. Whatsoever is the indirect linking functionnality
possible when writting a Forrest document with OpenOffice?

Thank you,

Thomas

Sorry for the slow response, I wasn't sure my answer was correct, so
waited to see if others responded first.

My answer is no it is not possible (if I am wrong someone will speak up
now).

This would seem to prevent us from adding such funcitonality as well I
am afraid.

Using OO.org 1.1, I can type "site:test" into the URL path, but for an
internet site or for a document (there are many choices in the hyperlink
dialog). However, in the generated XML there href becomes "./site:foo".
I'm sure this can be worked around.

I think we'd have to modify our openoffice xsl file to handle this properly.
