So I've tried hard to come up with some answer to this question, unfortunately
I've preciously few creative ideas. 

I wouldn't place document-specific setting into Tools -> Options. That's the
place for global options and if any document-specific options currently happen
to be there, it's an UX bug that needs to be fixed :o) imo :o)

I've looked into how other document-specific options are set in
Calc/Impress/Writer and it's all in rather inconsistent state, the options are
scattered around various menus and sub-menus, for example:

Calc -> Data -> Calculate -> Autocalculate
Calc -> View -> (most of the things there)
Impress -> Slide -> Display background on Master etc.

(and toggling some of those options doesn't even set document to modified, grrr
... but that's another bug)

So to be consistent with this inconsistency, maybe add another submenu, String
Reference Syntax (to Data -> Calculate, or wherever appropriate) with
radiobuttons (analogous to View -> Zoom, for example) with 3 options

(*) Calc A1
( ) Excel A1
( ) Excel R1C1

indicating what FSFSR of current document is. 

In the long run, it would be of course wonderful to have some config editor of
document-specific settings -- much like File -> Properties ... -> Custom
Properties ( that could be added as a new tab to File -> Properties ... dialog,
or to some other relevant place)
