Search/replace in Word hyperlink not working using wildcards

Hi,

I'm using WordPipe 5.3.2 and I'm having a problem searching / replacing within the hyperlink itself.

I've read the help file where it shows how to do the 3 different searches for hyperlinks, but this isn't solving my problem.

For example, my hyperlink is called 12-ABC-DEF-34. The actual hyperlink points to an address "drive:\folder1\folder2\12-ABC-DEF-34.doc"
The Wildcard Search ??-???-???-?? successfully finds the hyperlink, but fails to find 12-ABC-DEF-34.doc contained in the link itself.

If I do a Normal Search "12-ABD-DEF-34", the search successfully finds both the link and the document name contained in the link.

Do wildcards not work for the hyperlink contents?
