PS:

as it usually happens... 
I just tried to do it manually without the requested "dissolve"
functionality...
and realized that there is a VERY HANDY way to do that...

using the "select all" with the "block area" selection mode...
which will select all the text that is linked from an external file...
all the text of a section...

then CRTL+X and CRTL+V...
and you only have to delete the linked empty area...

however, I've never even heard of "block area" selection mode before :)

and, again, these 3 steps could as well be done automatically, with one
click...
not to mention an "update all links & dissolve all" function...
which could mean, in the case of 5 linked documents 5x3 steps in one click...
about which the great gain is not sparing steps and clicks...

but the safety... and feeling safe...
that we can know that we won't leave out, by any accident, an entire section :)
not even one line...
or don't paste a text twice, for example...

and therefore we don't have to check it really thoroughly...
