Well, other use (its only one -- so no need for using a plural here AFAICS) of
the word 'link' in LibreOffice is actually misleading:
"Linked text frames" are not really describing well what this feature does (it
describes more what the internal implementation looks like, which should not
bother users): Instead they should be named according to their function e.g. as
"Continuous flow text frame" or some such.

Citation needed ;)

document not stored in the is _not_ at all obvious to many users of the
product. Emphasising the EXTERNAL of this action as early as possible might
help here.

In "Reference externally" the first word is a verb, not a noun. A native
speaker will not be very likely to confuse this with the latter. In german
"Extern referenzieren" doesnt suggest a strong relation to the bibliography
either.

As said above, the other use of 'link' (its only one: the continuous flow text
frames) in the product are unfortunate in themselves.
