Extracting URL from inside docx tables
I'm pretty much stuck right now.
I wrote a parser in python-3 using the python-docx library to extract all tables found in an existing .docx and store it in a python datastructure.
So far so good. Works as it should. Now I have the problem that there are hyperlinks in these tables which I definitely need! Due to the structure (xml underneath) the docx library doesn't catch these. Neither the url nor the display text provided. I found many people having similar concerns about this, but most didn't seem to have 'just that' dilemma.
I thought about unpacking the .docx and scan the _ref document for the corresponding 'rid' and fill the actual data I have with the links found in the _ref xml.
Either way it seems seriously weary to do it that way, so I was wondering if there is a more pythonic way to do it or if somebody got good advise how to tackle this problem?
