No, because the feature you need cannot be expressed in terms of XSL-FO.
Note that it quite easy to emulate the behavior you describe without
generating any special OLE link. The XSL-FO input source should contain:
<fo:basic-link external-destination="url(file:/Z:/docs/foo/bar.pdf)"
text-altitude="32px"> <!--32px=height of PDF icon-->
<fo:external-graphic src="url(icons/pdf.png)"/>
</fo:basic-link>
We do this for our own documents and it works fine. The only drawback of
this method is that the user must *Ctrl-click* rather than just click on
the PDF icon in order to open the PDF file in the external application.
