When I document, at our job, is needed to include scripts on the document,
because maybe people without (full) access to the source. Currently we create
annexes and copy-paste the code, but when we modify the code at the server, the
document is difficult to have updated (you will forgot that the script is in
the document)

Hello,

Imagine, I want to have the updated content of a file inside a doc. Libreoffice
could add an option to load a section from an URI.

For example I could write:

"See the source code of vibreoffice:" and then insert a section with the next
URL:

https://github.com/seanyeh/vibreoffice/blob/master/src/vibreoffice.vbs

Then libreoffice download the file and mark the section as updated at
2018/06/20 00:08 (and show you the new session with the content of the file)

Next time that I will open the document, it should be configurable to tell what
to do about every section:

- update on startup
- update on demand
- update when visualize the section
- show cached file when there is not network connection

The same can be applied with git://xxx, scheme or other URIs

Thank you!
