The context menu is for quick access to frequently used functions and shouldnt
contain ever possible function, which is the job of the menu bar. The HIG
states that all functions should be accessible in the menu bar, so on that
basis they do deserve to be in the menu bar, but the HIG also states that we
should attempt to keep the menu bar entries to 20, which is why i had removed
them as Edit > Hyperlink is no different that Insert > Hyperlink or clicking on
the Hyperlink button in the toolbar or Context Menu > Edit Hyperlink. If it is
preferred to have them, then ideally we should make a submenu for them. Any
suggestion on how to title them?

I do agree that it breaks the principle of bundling related functions, when its
in the File menu. Heiko has also expressed that it would be preferable to have
it in the View menu. @Stuart, do you have a preference of this?
