I use odt files to enter text into a typography program - Scribus - but hyperlinks are ignored and the link text is edited out. My previous copy of OpenOffice would de-link the hypertext, but I can’t see how to do it with the latest version.
To remove all hyperlinks: select all text (Ctrl+A), secondary-click, then choose Remove Hyperlink. If you select only part of the document, only the hyperlinks in the selected text will be removed.
Also can select the hyperlink text, cut (Ctrl+X) and Paste Unformated Text (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V).
If you are more comfortable with buttons, customize the toolbar to add the Remove Hyperlink button.
