I would say that is going to be the case. Book a DL award from SYD-LAX and if wanting to fly QF from MEL to catch it and they will be 2 discrete bookings
If the award onwards is on OW, QF will still do it, but why would there be an expectation that they would do it for a flight on an airline such as DL ?
