A zip'd file with a spreadsheet and the PDF I refer to.

Hyperlink in libreoffice calc to a local PDF file using a relative path fails with this response in the invoking terminal window:

gvfs-open: file:kitty.pdf: error opening location: Operation not supported

The hyperlink is

=HYPERLINK("file:kitty.pdf","meow")

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a PDF file with name kitty.pdf
2. Open libreoffice calc
3. Create a hyperlink as above to this file in the same directory
4. Click (or ctl-click as required)
5. Note response

Current behavior:
"error opening location: Operation not supported"

Expected behavior:
Opening a PDF for viewing.

Using a full path is not useful as I am sending this document and hyperlinked files to another person using a different computer system.

There should be if there is not a security setting permitting this behavior.
