What do you think, is there an add-on that can solve this problem?
That you have never installed an add-in does not mean that you do not have any. Many programs install them to help you use their program with Word without even telling you about it.
To be sure this is a problem with your Word program, itself, try starting in safe mode.
Then use File Open to open your file with the links and try using one.
