Re: [libreoffice-users] LOcalc SAVE as .html gratuitously changes HREF= from relative to absolute.

In Tools-Options-Loading/Saving-Common
(perhaps this path is a bit different in English) you can choose
saving URLs relative or absolute to the file system.

Read more in Help for that option.
There is written that *tips* are always displayed as absolute path.

If you copy the .html file to e.g. C:\TMP\ and open it in Calc
the tip will say C:\TMP\link.html as the html tag in the source
points to the same folder ... <A HREF="link.html">
