Thanks.  Got it.  

if "Embedded" label with OLE Objects is expected to be problematic...

then -- first speculation about possible response: 

Make a "Linked Object" label dialog (just as Frame and Image have their own),
modify toolbar to show Ole Object or Embedded Object as title, and reconfigure
Insert Menu as follows:

Image
Chart
Embedded Object
   Formula Object
   QR and Barcode
   Scan >
   Audio or Video
   Gallery
Shape
OLE Object

Main changes: 
  (a) Rename "Object" to "Embedded Object"
  (b) move entries in "Media" to "Embedded Object" submenu, 
  (c) Ole Object at top level.

Additional Comments
1. Have (almost) followed existing menu ordering -- other orderings are fine
   with me.
2. Initial ordering/organization is a modifiable default, because users can
   reconfigure in Customize. 
3. Embedded objects submenu now includes commands that can be understood from
   user POV as "embedded" (even though QR and Audio do not get Properties 
   dialog, and Gallery is actually Image).


Another possible response:  decide that Eve users who link files are familiar
with the chaotic labelling in LO and will just ignore the fact that it is now
called embedded. (-:
