example odg

I would like to further clarify what i was proposing with this enhancement.

So the proposal isnt to change the current behaviour of inserting an ODG as an
OLE Object (Insert > Object > OLE Object), but instead to allow the Insert
Image dialog to insert the contents of an ODG file into the current document in
the same way that it does for an SVG.

One of the main advantages that would be gained by inserting an ODG file over
inserting an SVG is that an SVG file is treated as a single non-editable vector
image, while an inserted ODG would be a editable grouped collection of vector
and not vector objects. Basically no different than opening the ODG in Draw and
copying and pasting its content into your document (Paste Special's Drawing
Format).

So with this functionality, i could have sent someone the attached odg file of
a button and they inserted it into their Writer and easily change the button
label to whatever they like. This functionality would be highly beneficial, as
we could have similar ODG files in the gallery and in Draw's future
stencil/symbol gallery.
