Again: I do not claim that links are useless, or that less than 50% of people ever use links. We can play with words but the fact remains that a new user expects the document to be self-contained. In other words, if you don't know what you want, you most certainly don't want a link, because your document will break as soon as you move files around or send it to someone else. If you want a link, you should say that you want a link.
Oh, and please keep one point in mind.
Inkscape is targeting being the "best SVG editor" out there. Note that it is not the "best vector editor". This is a subtle yet important point that was actually involved in the project's formation.
So we do need to remember to target people trying to "create SVG files" or "create SVG artwork" a little more when it come in conflict with "create general vector graphics".
