Default In Excel: Paste Special should have a "Link Value" Selection

It would be handy in Microsoft Excel if there was a selection under Paste
Special that allowed you to paste the value of a link without pasting the
value for other formulas.

For example: I have a spreadsheet that pulls data from another database
file and performs numerous calculations on it. I have to e-mail this file to
others (who do not have the database so I have to remove the links).
Currently, I have to paste the values for everything, destroying the "base"
formulas. If I change any of the other values those formulas run on, it will
not change in this section.
