Missing Target of Hyperlink Cannot Be Corrected, Result is Runtime Error and Crash
Brought to you by:

When used on OneDrive, text with hyperlink cannot find it's target. There is no "properties" functionality for me to erase or correct the missing target.
A sequence of errors occurs, which results in a run time error, and crash of program.
Unable to determine if cause is not functionality to correct missing hyperlink target, or database corruption that causes a link to fail. Regressed to previous day's version of the database and behavior was the same. Version2.0 obtained from portableapps.com and launched via portableapps launcher. Database in question does not show in the "recent databases" area of the open command.
Clarification: Clicking on link causes first error that target is missing
Right click on link and choosing "hyperlink" causes runtime error and crash
Both of these error messages are depicted in the screenshots.
That behavior is why I said there is no "properties" functionality allowing me to examine what the target is and correct it.
My desire is not to delete the link without knowing if the database itself is corrupted or if the fault is localized to a single text string that is a link.
Every link I made I immediately assigned a target. Further I have not deleted targets.
If I renamed a target and this caused the fault, there is no functionality that would tell me what the original target was, or allow me to update the target of the link.
Considering the amount of labor I have put into the tree, I am concerned that I will simply be throwing away more time if the database is irrevocably damaged.
As a user, I am not so much concerned with an error, I am concerned with the uncertainty with how serious the problem is.
