That is actually not true. ODF does not have explixit support for OLE-
objects. Section 9.3.3 (if I remember correctly) has a <draw:object-ole>-
element for "binary objects", but the term "OLE" is used as a general
term to describe general "Object linking and embedding" and is not
specific to Windows.
It is exactly the same way it is done in OOXML.
