Mike -

That's not a bad idea, but it might be messy to implement. An easier
alternative would be to just change 'To page' to 'To page
(deprecated)' or 'To page (avoid using)'.

Easier yes but a lot less helpful. It doesn't help anybody understand
why the change was made nor how to find the 'deprecated' facility which
will continue to exist in fact.

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Image Anchor Selection

A thought in passing - it would seem the OP's issue is that the UI has
changed, but he had no (ready) way of knowing in what way. In this
case a context menu item has been moved to the depths of a dialogue
box.

Might it be a good idea, when this is done, to leave the original menu
entry in place, but have it just show an information box saying where
the item can be found and maybe give a pointer to [a web page with]
some hints on the matter? And leave that in place for several
releases.
