Absolutely, today you don't even see the difference between direct input and
what comes from an external source when editing the field. And when the user
edits the field manually this change is overridden in case of automatic update.
Would expect Edit > Link(s) to External Data to open when I press F2 but only
for cells with those links and not when cells are empty.

We could lock these cells somehow as a first step. But additionally it would be
nice to see (temporarily) the state of cells. Similar request was made in bug
115241 about conditional formatting. We could show some indicator for the
various options like Excel's triangle but with a nicer icon.
