I would presume most non-advanced/non-technical users, ex. Benjamin or my
father, dont understand what it means because they always want images/etc
embedded into their documents. Also users of services like Google Docs dont
have this option as well, which means we have a generation of users who never
saw such an option.
So it seems it says '[ ] Link' in LO's internal file dialogs and on Windows and
'[ ] Insert as Link' in the GTK dialog. :D

Reference by itself will definitely be misunderstood as we have book references
in bibliography and cross-reference fields.

Which is why i suggested Edit > External References, but it could also be
External File Reference to make it as clear as possible.

Yes URL is to technical for users. :D
