Override FW_CSelection::CanPasteAsLink to change settings in the Paste As dialog. Return false to disallow linking entirely. The value of 'setting' should be set to kODPasteAsMergeOnly (the default) if you don't want pasted data to be embedded. CanPasteAsLink is called for PasteAs both from the clipboard and from drag-and-drop.
