When I clicked that link, it opened my preferred browser, as selected in 
kcontrol, and then the browser (firefox) asked how to open the odt file. 
Since the standard choice was openoffice there, it opened in openoffice. So 
probably you rather need to check the settings of your browser, not of kmail.
