Yes indeed it breaks that, I would argue that having an "invisible" field
opened when using the context field is the source of the confusion. So I am
aware it breaks the context menu for old schematics but think it is
necessary anyway.

I can of course use GetAssociatedDocument instead.

Unfortunately, it breaks access to the associated document for existing
schematics, that can have a
datasheet name set in library, but not in schematic.

and calling:
::wxLaunchDefaultBrowser( text ); is incorrect
(text is not always a .pdf doc with a full absolute path or URI)
see:
GetAssociatedDocument()
