If they (or someone else) released such code via the GPL then LO could make use of it. Basically, set your machine up with whatever defaults you want, export the XML using the commands in either link (the second link has them within another link), modify the XML to remove any defaults you dont want to set via GPO, and then use that XML as your GPO config file. To the best of my knowledge they have never released that code. They did that a very long time ago (which is why PDFs have appeared within the Google SERPs for years & years). In the right-pane, scroll down and click on Choose default Apps by file type option. On Apps & Features screen, select Default apps in the left pane. Open Settings and click on the Apps icon.

Google wrote code that allowed them to extract text & graphics from PDFs. Download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer and follow the steps below to set Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer on your computer. However, a single binary is used to open all LO Apps, so when LibreOffice sees that you have sent it a PDF it will switch to Draw and, as far as I understand these things, there is zilch that you can do about that. Under Windows it will be possible for you to set PDFs to open with Writer, or indeed any other program that is within your computer system. I attempted to open a PDF just now from within Writer (LO-5.0.0.5, Debian-6.0) and, after a terrifyingly long time, it finally opened in Draw - the only LO app that can handle it.
