Copying a URL Hyperlink auto formats to a opening another indesign file
I've been having URL hyperlinks that are copied Document A into Document B are auto format as a shared location that is Document A. But all I want is Document B to have the same hyperlinks, and nothing I've tried will prevent "shared destination" as being the default. All I wanted is the an image with a hyperlink to copy into Document B as a URL. Instead I have random InDesign documents opening without warning and then indesign crashes. I've ended up needing to delete all hyperlinks (attached to both text and images) and entirely reformat each one. Without accidently opening the shared destination document. I'm sure there is a use case for linking between documents, but why is the default for copy-paste opening a document rather than keeping the website URL?

I have a similar issue. I wanted to move a document which I created separately from the main document into the main document (via the move-option in the pages menu) and all hyperlinks (URLs and crossreferences) are either altered into shared destinations with the old document as it's goal or the destination textanchor is not selected. It's making me insane.
