Sometime the topic title is being changed in order to prevent future linking (e.g. by adding the word "The" to the start, and this word definitely doesn't want adding to all occurrences of links to the topic).

While I don't use tricks like adding "The" to prevent future links (that sounds to me more like exploiting a bug than intended usage), I
do very much prefer to have the option of how to handle the cases when name changes come up. Most of the time, the automatic name change would be undesirable -- so this change essentially automates making my life worse, not better. Therefore, yes, an option to remove any existing links would be better than automatically changing the text.
