Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-05-06 09:37:53 UTC 
Suppose I insert an OLE object from an existing file, linking to that file, and then want to switch the link to another file.

There is no option for doing that on the OLE object's context menu; nor is it present in the object's Properties dialog.

It is possible to make the change via Edit | External Links, but that's insufficient IMHO, plus, that is general dialog for all links.

Heiko, that bug is about a Calc spreadsheet with links within it, embedded into a Writer document. This bug is about any OLE object; and it's not about the inability to update, but the convenience/accessibility of the UI for updating. So, not a dupe.
