When an OLE Draw object is in a Writer document, it should be appreciated to be able to edit this drawing in a full Draw window. Keep actual in place editing on double-click. Rename "Edit" context menu to "Edit here". Add an "Edit out place" in context menu.

Because workarounds are easy and clean no reason to make this a high priority.
