#2120: a linked cell's menu edits, opens or removes its link

Right-clicking a cell with a link only offered "Link…", whose dialog was
titled Insert Hyperlink, so changing a link wasn't obvious. As in Excel,
the cell menu of a linked cell now offers Edit Hyperlink… (the same
dialog, filled with the link and titled Edit Hyperlink), Open Hyperlink
(as clicking the link: a reference selects its cell, a web or e-mail
address asks first) and Remove Hyperlink (edit.clearHyperlinks). A cell
without a link keeps "Link…".

| Date | Change | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-11-03 | minor | Cell context menu on a cell with a link: Edit Hyperlink… (the link dialog, titled Edit Hyperlink and filled with the link), Open Hyperlink and Remove Hyperlink, as in Excel, instead of Link… (#2120) |
| 2026-11-02 | minor | RefEdit reference boxes in dialogs: pick a range on the grid, collapse the dialog while selecting; Goal Seek, Solver (with the Model Range of Load/Save) and Data Analysis use them; while collapsed the arrow keys move the selection and Shift+arrow extends it, F4 cycles a reference's anchors, a click elsewhere keeps the box picking, a dialog opened over a picking one puts the selection back, OK stays on the sheet its command showed, and scripted cancel and confirm end a pick like the buttons; the dialog's sheet is followed through the recorded undo steps, so a sheet deleted and recreated under its name is not taken for it and an undo of the deletion brings it back; a box the dialog stops showing is no longer picked into |
| 2026-11-02 | minor | Python mode edits a cell's code in the formula bar's code editor (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P, `=PY` then Tab, editing a Python cell), with the PY badge beside fx; its keys apply in input order, also several in one frame, and Ctrl+Enter commits through `python.set` (empty code clears the cell), keeping the code and showing the command's message when the code is refused |
| 2026-11-02 | minor | Insert › Symbols: Equation split button (access keys N E), a gallery of examples, and an equation editor with quick-insert buttons, the error underlined at its position and a live preview; double-clicking an equation edits it |
