How to get filename of extracted OLE objects?

[tyler-suard-parker]

Thank you for making this package. I am able to get an OLE object out of a .docx file, but I can't yet find the name of the OLE file. Is there any way to do this using python-docx?

You'll have to say more about what you're trying to do and what you've tried so far. Feel free to reopen if you're willing to elaborate.

I have a file called mainfile.docx. I open that file, and on the 200th line there is an icon for a PDF. I click on that icon and it opens the PDF.

Using your package and some others, I am able to extract the content of that embedded PDF, but I am unable to extract the filename of that PDF.

Hmm, I'm not sure if embedded OLE objects have a "filename" or where it's located in the XML if they do sometimes keep track of it, but I'll reopen and maybe someone else does.
