            Bug ID: 143482
           Summary: Make it easier to open Master Document subdocuments
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

The Master Document function is great. One of my... frustrations... with it is
the cumbersome methods needed to open a subdocument for editing.

For example, I will do a search for something. When I find it, if I want to
edit the subdocument, I have to:

* Right-click in the document
* Choose "Edit section" and identify the section name
* Open the navigator
* Double-click on the document

If I forget to do that and I try to write directly from the Master DOcument, I
get a popup saying I'm not allowed. To open the document I have to do the same
steps as above.

My proposals:

* Put an "Open Document" entry on the right-click menu. I would also change the
current wording from "Edit section" to "Modify section information" or
something. The goal is to mark a difference between modifying content and
metadata.

* In the "You can't edit" dialog, add a button that says "Open document." It
might even be interesting to go to the current position in the subdocument, but
I don't know how feasible that is.
