How to extract hyperlinks from office documents using tika - hyperlink

Question

I'm using Apache Tika to extract raw text from various document formats including office.
When extracting text from word documents that include hyperlinks, then only the text is extracted and the information about the hyperlink is lost.
Is there a way to configure the parser so that the underlying link is also extracted?
ParseContext context = new ParseContext();
Detector detector = new DefaultDetector();
Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser(detector);
context.set(Parser.class, parser);
Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
try (TikaInputStream input = TikaInputStream.get(new File(fileName))) {
BodyContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler();
parser.parse(input, handler, metadata, context);
String rawText = handler.toString();
input.close();
}

I'm using tika-app to extract hyperlinks from office documents in bash. I'm using the --html option to output the HTML content of files. I'm then using sed and grep to filter the HTML to just the contents of href attributes in that HTML. The result I get is the content of each href, one per line.
java -jar /root/tika-app-1.20.jar --html TEST.docx 2>/dev/null | sed 's/href/\nhref/g' | grep '^href' | sed 's/href="//' | sed 's/".*//'
I know that OP is not using tika-app, but the general approach can be applied using Tika from Java too.
