Spec notes

ECMA-376 Part 2 (OPC) §9.3 — the TargetMode attribute on a <Relationship> element is optional; when absent the implicit value is Internal. Slide-level hyperlinks set via python-pptx (`run.hyperlink.address = '<url>'`) must emit the hyperlink rel on the slide's rels part with TargetMode="External". Two URI schemes are parameterised (https, mailto) to cover the common cases.

Generator source

scripts/gen_pptx_rel_target_mode_external.py — runs with --arg_template --url "{link.url}" --text "{link.text}" --out fixtures/pptx/rel-target-mode-external--{link.id}.pptx

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Generate ``fixtures/pptx/rel-target-mode-external--<id>.pptx`` fixtures.

One blank slide with a single textbox; the textbox's sole run carries an
external hyperlink. python-pptx routes the URL through ``run.hyperlink.address
= url`` which serialises an ``r:id`` on the run and a Relationship entry
carrying ``TargetMode="External"`` in ``ppt/slides/_rels/slide1.xml.rels``.
