[suggestion] Add "Remove link" item to context menu of links

Post by Jensen Head »

Currently, the text with an attached link in the context menu for editing the link does not have the ability to remove the link:

The "Properties..." / "Page Content Properties" panel does not have this option either.

Hello Jensen Head,

This link should appear in the Links Pane, and you can remove it from there.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Indeed, the corresponding link is present in the "Links" sidebar. However, from the user's point of view, with a large number of links, or links assigned to non-text objects, the existing solution is not convenient enough. Yes, I can switch from the thumbnail panel to the links panel with two clicks, look at the current page number, find this number in the list of links, and sequentially click on each link in search of the right one.

Or solve such a problem in exactly two clicks:
