A related discussion is currently happening on the dev mailing list, thread
starts here: [1]

Similar to practical problems with Calc exposing all cells (see tdf#156657),
concerns about exposing the whole Writer document content have been mentioned
(see e.g. [2]).

@joanie/all: Do you think the flows-from/flows-to relations (related:
tdf#96492) could potentially be an alternative to always exposing the whole doc
content, or some other (maybe still to be developed) navigation API as
mentioned in [2]? Any further thoughts on that?
