There is a little-known(?) feature in LO that allows to plug browser

inside LO documents.  In Writer at least, it is available via "Insert -
Object - Plug-in...".

The implementation is in extensions/source/plugin/ (which has
platform-specific branches for aqua, unx, and win) and np_sdk/.  And it
appears to be horribly broken, see below for details.

It works fine here for Flash. I use LO3.6 on WinXP. I can insert a flash
file via Insert-Object-Plug-in into a presentation. It works in edit
mode and in presentation mode. So it is not "horrible" broken.

The situation on Windows might be different indeed, given how the
implementations of LO's plugin host interface, but likely also the
plugins themselves, differ across platforms.  Thanks for sharing.

Looks like at least on Mac OS X and Windows, pluging .swf files (which is arguably the most -- if not the only -- relevant use-case) via the Adobe flash player plugin indeed still works fine.
