--- Comment #2 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
OP is ambiguous.

Case 1 and Case 2 are existing, working functions for sections with linked
files.  I believe OP wants to keep both Case 1 and Case 2, but add a Case 3.

Case 1:  Section w/linked file.  Later, user unlinks file in "Edit Section")
            -->  text and section remain.

Case 2:  Section w/linked file.  Later, user clicks "Remove"  in "Edit Section"
            -->  text remains (but section and link are gone.)

In both cases, the linked text remains and the link is lost, but the section is
retained in Case 1.

I think the OP may be to remove text for sections with and w/o linked files, so

Case 3a:   Section w/o linked file.  
Case 3b.   Section w/linked file.

          (new action) "Remove Section and Text" 
           --> both section and text are removed.


+1  Case 1
+1  Case 2
 0  Case 3a.  w/o linked files.   
+1  Case 3b.  w/ linked files 

There is no "undo" function for sections with linked files.  Without proposing
the UI, it would be great to have a way to remove "linked file" sections
without the text remaining.  (Not a content-handler. More like an easy way to
recover from mistakes/bad choices when linking files.)

Practical use situations:

I: A 50-page document gets linked in a section (e.g., wrong file chosen,
exploring the function). AFAIK, anything that gets linked in (for whatever
reason) has to be manually deleted (e.g., no Ctrl-Z). No fun.

Type II:  A linked-section is no longer desired. You can hide the section (as a
workaround).  But after "Remove" (Case 1 and 2) you must manually clean the
text. Irritating.
