<pre>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.</pre>
