How do I separate embedded elements/images?

[mahengrui1]

Hello, my document becomes too large(100 MB) due to many embedded images, I’d reduce the file size by linking to the images instead of embedding them directly. However, I don’t have these files and records so I’m seeking a way to separate image files just use the .odt file itself automatically

Just like something similar to ‘Save as HTML’ but keep the .odt
Thanks!

Do you mean you want to extract the images from the document? If so, change the extension of the file to .zip and use a zip utility.

There is an option to compress the images. Maybe enough for your needs.
Right-click on the image, and select compress.

Yes, first extract them, second change all embedded image to linked image
