Yes, It is opinion and from my personal experience from writing hundreds of
pages in articles used for scholarly and industry papers, journals, magazine,
and books. 

I'll ask you this question, "can you tell me that you have never used a
hyperlink before?" If you have ever typed a paper using a word processing
program, then it's safe for me to assume you have encountered and typed
hyperlinks within word documents before, right? Are there any other users who
have not ever used hyperlink before? I'd venture to sayits highly doubtful.

Yes again, it is and hyperlinks provide effective credibility for personal
workflow. It's so much easier for the reader to verify your reference material,
find related content, or answer a call to action when you've given them
something to click on.  The use of hyperlinks improve work processes, work
productivity, and providing evidence to support your works. This is exactly why
American Psychological Association (APA) created a general format for writing
hyperlinks n the first place. Why? Because they're highly used within many word
processing documents and written works.
The take-away is everday users like to "do" things when they get to a site.
Heiko, give the users a hyperlink to click on and LO will reap the benefits at
the same time. The botttom line is we, the users, are asking to add one little
thing "add hyperlink" to the context menu. We are not asking to add the entire
toolbar.

That's why I 100% support the idea to "add hyperlink" to the conext menu.
