That dialog gets launched when there are some external links present in
Edit - Links... dialog.  A link can be one of various types, and what
types of links are supported differ between the apps.  It could be a DDE
link, OLE link, Area link (Calc only), external references (Calc only)
etc.  I hope you get the picture.

Given this, I don't know what the better wording would be.  Updating all
links basically tries to fetch the latest content from the respective
link sources, or else the app would show data from its own cache which
is normally stored with the document, and may be outdated.
