[OGo-Users] no subject

Hello! 
 
 I have a rather specific problem. On an OpenOffice Writer document, I am 
placing hyperlinks to several types of files that are stored in my OGo server. 
Eg.: 
 
https://mycompany.com/OGo_server/g/12345/Target_File.doc
 
 The links work fine with MS Word DOC and PDF files. The hyperlink is inserted 
in the OOffice Writer document AND upon clicking it, the linked file is opened 
with OOffice Writer or Adobe Reader, respectively. The problem is that if the 
hyperlink points toward an OOffice file such as one with an ODT or ODS 
extension, the file will NOT open up automatically, which is what I would 
really like to accomplish for my users. Instead, the OGo server opens up the 
web page of the "Project File Details" described in page 43 of the OGo User 
Guide.

How can I enable OGo to automatically open up these type of files? Is there a 
configuration capability within the OGo server to do this? I think my OGo 
server can open automatically several types of files such as DOC, PDF, XLS, and 
TXT. Can it be somehow modified to include OOffice files, too?
  
In the same page mentioned of the OGo User Guide, I found the following 
paragraph related to my problem:

"contents – (shown in the preceding figure) contains information about the
data 
file
such as multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) type and file size. This 
tab is
used to download the file from the OGo server to the user workstation. File
download is accomplished by clicking on the hyperlink filename. When prompted
by browser software, select the option to save the file to disk. If the file
automatically opens in it’s native application, you may select the
“Save As” 
option
from the application program."

But that's about all I have found. 

Just for the record, I am running Linux open SUSE on a Thin Client and the web 
browser Konqueror 3.5.7. I could also be using FireFox, but absolutely NO MS 
IExplorer. 
 
 I've tried to work around this problem and to configure my OOffice and web 
browser to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Gabriel
