I think that then there is some term confusion here ...

#: eeschema/menubar.cpp:462
msgid ""
"Edit components to symbols library links to switch to an other library link "
"(library IDs)"

This obviously is not "symbol to symbol link" ...

I really think that we should stick with the terms "footprint" and
"symbol" only, and get rid of all the "component", "part", "module" and
such altogether...
