When a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx file) has internal links between slides, it is possible to get LibreOffice Impress to support these — such that the user displaying the presentation can be taken to different slides depending on where they click?

Here's a PowerPoint presentation which does that, and still does it when viewed in Google Slides: to see it, press the ‘Present’ button, then see how on slide 5 clicking each of ‘Scales’ and ‘Fur’ go to different places.

But when I download that file and load it into LibreOffice, the interaction has disappeared: clicking anywhere on slide 5 just proceeds to slide 6. This happens whether I download the .pptx file directly, or using Google Slides's option to download it as an ODP document.

Is there any way to convert or display a PowerPoint presentation on Linux with working internal links? Thanks.

I'm running LibreOffice 7.0.4.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
