            Bug ID: 139735
           Summary: "Links to External Files" is not precise
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: difficultyBeginner, easyHack, needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

tdf#91781, tdf#91820, tdf#91857 has changed menu item "Links..." into "Links to
External Files..." - see
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/67d245adca298134fc8ab4364acbe880b4e0911a,
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/41e71a7c6f10eeca0d7bc083fc68dc85d9f2a986,
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/7c6117780a8feb0b4ffcbaeaf649f4f6bc8470ec.
However, that is not a correct text, because the links are not necessarily to
*files*, but rather to *data* (e.g., it may be DDE getting information from
running some application, or an URL to some dynamically-generated data).

It might be not a big issue, but still having imprecise names where we easily
can have a better match would be good IMO.

Proposals: "External Links..." or "Links to External Data...".
