Presentation: Allow hyperlinks for images and keep them in PDF export

[wwwindisch]

This issue is unique.

• I have used the search tool and did not find an issue describing my idea.

Your idea.

Current situation (problem)

Tested on Version 8.2.2.22 (deb)
This refers to presentations (e.g. .pptx) / the presentation editor and inconsistencies in the handling of hyperlinks:

Text

• Hyperlinks can be created.
• Hyperlinks are present in exported pdf files.

Images

• Hyperlinks can not be created.
• (Of course: Hyperlinks are not present in exported pdf files.)

Shapes

• Hyperlinks can be created.
• Hyperlinks are not present in exported pdf files.

Current work around

So a current (but nasty) work-around to have images with hyperlinks in presentations is:

1. Cover the image with a shape (shape above image).
2. Set the opacity of the shape to 1% (99% transparent).
3. Assign a hyperlink to the shape.

--> However, this work-around makes hyperlinks for images only available in presentations. The links assigned to shapes are not kept, when the presentation is exported as .pdf.

Minimal example

Präsentation1.pptx

Präsentation1.pdf

Feature request (wish)

• As a user I can assign hyperlinks to images in presentations (the same way as for shapes) to open them in presentation mode.
• As a user I can save presentations as pdf files with hyperlinks assigned to images or shapes being preserved correctly, such that a click on the element (shape or image) in the pdf file opens the link.

Thanks a lot :-)
