Suppose I've inserted an OLE object. Now, if I want to: * Switch from content display to icon display * Change the icon used for its display I can't do that from anywhere (AFAICT). And if I want to: * Change the file the OLE object links to I can do that via Edit | External Links, but not through the object's context menu. Speaking of the context menu - it has entries for name, alt text, and interaction - while missing the basic OLE object properties. That feels weird.
I did: Open Writer > Insert > OLE Object > OLE Object... > Create from file > Search... > Select an ODS file > Open. "Display as icon" option is available before pressing OK. Confirmed that it would be better if we could also switch between Icon and Contents display _after_ it was created.

I do have "Properties" in the context menu to open the OLE Object dialog, but can't see Name, Alt Text, Interaction. Which kind of OLE object exactly did you create?
