Many carriers don't credit you any points unless the entire itinerary is completed. Even if they do, this is technically a breach of contract (so say the airlines) and your FF accounts may be suspended. Ergo, I definitely would not link this flight to my FF accounts.
I think you misread the OP: he wants a
one-way flight, not a
oneworld flight. (And Austrian is not a oneworld carrier anyway; it is a Star Alliance member.)
The OP is not contemplating hidden-city ticketing, but rather throw-away ticketing (just using the outbound portion of a roundtrip ticket). And it's not at all clear that he wants to credit the VIE-MXP flight to any FFP.
