Bug ID: 146858
Summary: FEATURE REQUEST: Link a chart title, label, or text
box to a worksheet cell
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.0.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

Description:
One very handy feature in Excel is linking content in cell to chart title,
labels or even text boxes - alone or inserted into a chart.
This function would be very useful in Calc. Let me use the example from my
field.
In one of our experiments we measuring friction force to assess coefficient of
friction (CoF) between different materials.
And now: if linking text to chart from cell would be possible we would be able
to describing conditions of test (eg. type of materials) automatically, by
simply copy and paste results from CSV obtained from tribotester (machine for
wear materials by means of friction).
Nowadays we must write it manually and it makes possibility to make mistakes or
forgot to change chart title.
I believe that a large group of users would benefit from that feature and I
think that many of them desire it and look forward to this feature.
