--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
I guess there's two requests here:
- connecting legend with callouts, which is already possible by using data
labels and the options "leader lines"
- aligning the legend to the data series, which I focus on below.

Its true that it's hard to adapt the Series data label implemented for bug
94235 to cover this common use case:

0. Don't add a classic legend
1. Add data label to whole chart
2. Change settings to "Series name" and "Legend key"
3. Change Placement to "right"
4. Click twice (slowly) on each duplicate data labels to select them
individually and Delete.

Step 4 is completely impractical for more than a handful of labels.

With what we currently have, we should be able to add a setting that acts as a
shortcut for the above, for example in the Wizard's "Chart elements":

[X] Display legend
 ° Left
 ° Right
 ° Top
 ° Bottom
 ° Label the series

... but it would be a hack that would likely conflict with other data label
settings. (i.e. what happens if one wants to use this new setting, but also
label the data points with values? It would require two "layers" of labels.)

UX/Design team, what do you think?
