Omer,
Please update us all on this, if you would. You passed the request to the team almost a year ago.
Thanks,

I'm an attorney, and I created a great litigation and trial-management system using only OneNote. We put it to use in a large "mass action" case with over fifty plaintiffs and tens of thousands of exhibits. The system allowed us to completely outmaneuver the plaintiffs at trial, and we were able to line up exhibits, deposition citations, and both direct and cross examination questions from a single program. We all credit a great deal of our defense verdict to the system.
The key feature that let us build the various pages for trial quickly was the ability to drag and drop exhibit pdfs into the onenote pages as links to files. Due to the sheer volume of exhibits, as well as the ease of using tables, links were far more effective than inserting the files directly, and certainly more effective than inserting printouts.
With OneNote 2013, this mission-critical feature appears to be missing. I can only insert the file, or insert a printout. I don't want to do either- I want to insert a link. I know that I can insert links using the manual "insert link" function, but that is slower and more error prone than the simplicity of the previous versions. Am I missing a key option to trigger? Or is this a missing feature from OneNote 2013? If the latter, I suspect we will stick with 2010....

Thanks for this, but it doesn't solve the issue of inserting one document. I'd love the drop link back please.
Has there been a solution?
Has there been a solution?
No, there hasn't been one yet. A couple of workarounds that, despite the users' best efforts, are more cumbersome than the original functionality.
Dido here.
the workaround of right clicking and opening the original file works but embeding a file when we just need a link is plain dumb.
Tip workaround nº2: after inserting teh file right clicking gets you an option to copy the link to the original. Just paste it and delete the inserted file.
Bottom line: a workaround should not be necessary. Bring the option back.
Best Regards
