LOL. You are talking about attempts to edit *some content inside a "section"*
(the linked document). You should realize that it would be *typical* for users
to have complex selection inside that content - trying to just type, or
selecting a single object in the inner document is just a special case. It is
*not* appropriate to try to resolve this special case and pretend you are
handling the problem.

Second: you try to invert the logic: instead of passing the context from the
place where the problem was detected, you want to make the *dialog* "smart",
trying to figure why was it started. So the logic would be:

1. Some code, having all the required information to know what happened, finds
out that the operation is not permitted; it runs a generic dialog.
2. The dialog opens, and starts analyzing what is the situation, trying to
figure who run it and why; doubling the complexity ("reverse-engineering" the
problem), and asking for new bugs because of impossibility to do that correctly
in all the numerous cases.
