There are possible a couple of ways of dealing with this.
One that I have used in the past is to make a new link type and use that
for opening your .odt files
#+LINK: ooo shell:oowriter
and then use [[ooo:"/path/to/ooo-file" &][name of file]]
I have no doubt that there are other ways of doing this.
