The Linked Objects Browser dialog box lists the objects that are linked to the currently selected cell. The browser enables you to view, edit, and delete individual objects. To perform an action on an object, first click it to select it, and click one of the buttons.
If member combinations contain attributes, do not create linked objects.
If the Read Only Spreadsheet Add-in flag is turned on, the Attach, Edit, or Delete buttons are not available on the Linked Object Browser dialog box. So to attach, edit, or delete linked objects, you need proper access permissions.

View/Launch—Click to open the View Cell Note dialog box to read (but not edit) the contents of a cell note, launch the associated application for a linked file, open a Web browser to view a URL, or access Integration Server Drill-Through reports.
