Interesting; I'd never seen that discussion. While off the top of my head I don't remember any, I'll certainly keep that in mind for when I remember or next time I see things where a link could help. Thank you for sharing!

Mostly, the reason I had trouble using this property was that I had trouble finding it. My go-to is the "walk-through" part of the documentation, e.g. here: < https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Plot-Annotations.html >. Though they are treasure troves of functionality, properties lists like < https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Text-Properties.html > are less easy to find and to learn from. Perhaps that's only a fault of mine, though.

this did come up  before (see the discussion at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50247) because there was an issues linking to pages with spaces in the names. that bug has an outstanding task of identifying which functions would benefit from document link updates now that the underlying issue is fixed.  maybe you could help identify other places where a simple link to follow would have made the search easier?

Following up on this, where should I suggest places that links could be added? I see two options on savannah.gnu.org - the general help mailing list and the maintainers mailing list. I would assume the latter would be more appropriate, but it would be rude to invite myself in.

A recent question asked about bar graphs, and I think the user wanted to relabel the bins on the horizontal axis. I found a solution in the axes properties page, but only because I already knew to look there. The bar function reference and entry on the Two-Dimensional Plots page could link to this to explain how to alter bin labels.
