Copy a chart from one spreadsheet document to another, or from a Writer 
document as "LibreOffice Writer document", or copy a chart which is 
already of kind "own data" to the sheet.

[BTW, in AOO you will even create a kind "own data" when copying within 
the same spreadsheet document.]

It is more a view of ODF file format. The "own data" exists always as a 
"<table:table>" element. But if the chart is linked to a cell range some 
additional informations exist.

How will you get access to chart data? You have not even access to the 
uno-commands specific for charts, when the chart is not in edit mode. 
And when the chart is in edit mode, you have no sidebar.

 But I'm not sure if this direct access really needs to be available.

Now I wonder, what you will do.

Kind regards
