For what it's worth, I think that the logic is correct: linking a file means inserting into a document a link to it, not its contents. This can be useful for example: - when the linked file could be changing frequently, and the document must always show its latest version; - when the linked file is big and the document file must remain small. Requesting for user confirmation before loading external files is necessary for security reasons. I hope I could explain myself clearly.
