--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Apply behaves like Okay but keeps the dialog open. If a warning would be needed
it was required for both. But Apply "nothing" does nothing - likewise all other
options and like pressing Okay. So removing the message seems to be acceptable.

Any text in the input field (including ",?,%) is accepted as valid file name
and creates a new file (at least on Linux). Not sure this is safe (and makes
the error message pointless).

But it's a bit weird anyway to press Okay and nothing happens (applies to all
options/tabs). The best solution is to block Okay in case of inappropriate or
missing user input. The control should give feedback and ideally show some
explanation in a tooltip. But in case of the overly complex hyperlink dialog
this would be an overkill. 

Me does not see the need to create a "New Document" in addition to (existing)
"Document" in a dialog to insert a hyperlink. It might be handy in one of a
million workflows but has always detrimental effect on usability.
