            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Edition Links windows with writer tables in background

Nota: to replicate this in writer, you'll need previously to get a calc
document with tables inside.

1.Open a writer document.
2.Open a calc document with more than one tables inside a same page
3.Place you in calc document
4.Select one part of a table in the calc document sheet
5.Copy the selection (ctrl C)
6.Place you now inside writer document
7.Then chosse special copy paste -> DDE link
8.Repeat 3 to 7, but for an other part of the sheet
9.In writer, select each tables, and give a title to each
10.Now, in writer, go to Edition -> link in order to suppress the DDE link

At this stage, what you see in the window opened, is a list of DDE links,
giving the source file path, the name of the sheet, and cells range. But you
don't see the title you gave to the tables. That make the selection of the
table difficult, particularly when you get more than 20 DDE linked tables
included in the writer document.

So the idea would be: to get a easier way to detect/recognize the DDE link
(table)  that are proposed in this Edition -> Links list menu.

--- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <rb...@t-online.de> ---
Currently there is no information about the connection between a table in
Writer and the source in Calc. Neither the UI of the table itself has an
information of its source nor the link-dialog has an information about the
target.

For linked pictures at least the picture has an information about its source.

I second that such an information should be provided.
