[DISCUSSION] Default description for relative file links in odt export (was: [BUG] ox-odt file: links are not pointing to the real files (was: [BUG] ox-odt fails for org-id links (e.g., from org-roam v2) [9.5.2 (9.5.2-gfbff08 @ /home/moritz/.emacs.d/elpa/27.2/develop/org-9.5.2/)]))

[Ihor Radchenko]

In ODT, the ./ is _inside_ the odt archive and the current
directory is "../". Then, the default description for file links is
"../file", which is somewhat confusing.

Should we change it and tweak the default description of relative file
links in odt? This will only matter during odt export of relative file
links without description.

Regardless of the default description issue, we want this fix.
