Hi! I'm on 5.2.0 version. 1. Create a master document; 2. Create a section in this master document (Menu Insert/Section); 3. Write something in this section; 4. Save this master document; 5. Create a writer document; 6. Insert a section in this document (Menu Insert/Section) and check the checkbox "Link"; 7. Click the "Browse" button to choose the master document you've just selected before. It's impossible to validate this selection with the "Open" button of the dialog box. But if we test to link a writer document section it a writer section, there is almost no problem ( https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101795 ). I know it was possible in previous versions (I believe like 3.X.X).
Yep, reproduced brokenness in 5.3 and confirm it works OK in 3.6.

it turns out this was allowed by accident in LO 3.6 and wasn't really a supported feature. but i've tweaked it now on master so you can insert master documents as sections again.
