Aspose.Diagram 24.3 retrieves the binary file path inside the compressed Visio file instead of the actual file path

We came across an issue where in a Visio file, we have an OLE-linked object to an Excel sheet.

The Aspose Shape.ForignData.ObjectSourceFullName property should contain the path to that Excel sheet, instead, it contains the path to the binary object of the OLE object within the Visio file.
Here is a sample project to reproduce this issue.

Thanks for the update. We checked Aspose.Diagram 24.4 and confirmed that we were able to scan the link. However, we are not able to modify these links with Aspose.Diagram 24.4.

Is there something we are missing, or does this update allow us to only read the binary file path inside the compressed Visio file?

In Microsoft Visio, there is no direct support for modifying the link path of embedded OLE objects. Therefore, we could not support this feature in near future.
Please delete the current OLE object first and then insert a new OLE object with the updated link path.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
