After posting above, I remembered that I'd actually done this sort of thing before, but with a twist, i e, creating icons for and links to the new version while retaining the earlier one. In the Cinnamon menu I clicked on Main Menu and then «Add new object» and filled in the necessary information and commands, i e, /opt/libre4.0/program/swriter for Writer. The customary LibreOffice icons were found under, e g, /user/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps. I now can access LibreOffice 4.0 functions with a simple click on my Cinnamon top panel, just the way I like it. Thanks to all who replied with suggestions !...
