[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 124994] Cell Formatting for URL websites, or other URI schemes

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124994

--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko@gmail.com> ---
The cell style is independent from the cell content and has to be set manually
(subsummizing autoformat or conditional formatting). I doubt we can
automatically assign a style to a cell since styles are variable and
'Hyperlink' is not necessarily defined (although it's hard-coded). [1]
Combining the internal hyperlink formatting (gray background or green font,
depending on the kind of input) has also the risk to clash with the hyperlink
text style

The number format of a cell is never set automatically. You can enter 1.23$ or
"Test" and all becomes a number/general by default. So before we talk about
URIs wouldn't it require those formats?

Extending the number formats by a special kind of text, the hyperlink, sounds
also not possible as we are restricted by the format. Plus, what would that
format contain other than text (left aligned)? Do you have something like
"http://@"; in mind?

[1] In fact, ODF has a <number:text-style> format,
