Is it possible to remove the dialog? I think I prefer not to have
anything automatically updated and have a menu item to update it.

Rationale:
[1] if data is there and it's the same, it doesn't make sense to update.
[2] if data is not there, it doesn't make sense to update.
[3] if data is there and differs, the only way to see the old data is
to hit "no".

Now, how would users be able to refresh links? Through a menu item.

Of course, users should be notified that there is existing external
resources. If LibO can notify that external resources have changed,
it would be even better.
