Hyperlinkbase Property effect on Internal Document links

[Dave]

Recently we made a mass change to a document repository to update the
Hyperlinkbase property of over a thousand documents. This was done so that
if the documents were copied outside of the repository, the relative links
would still point to the production repository... this worked great! BUT...
we noticed that the Hyperlinkbase property also applies itself to internal
document links... huh? That doesn't make sense. Is this a known bug, or is
there a way to get the hyperlinkbase property to leave the internal links
alone? HELP!

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately, that's just how the hyperlink base works. It's a real nuisance to have, say, a Table of Contents that clicking on
takes you to a location outside the document it refers to.
