How can I remove 'Link' from the new-menu in a modern library?
I want to remove the Link-option from the new item-menu in a modern library with custom content types. I can't find any resources how to do this. There is no content type connected to this option. Anybody here who knows how to do this?

Yes this is correct as you always have to be able to link to different documents in libraries. i understand you want it away so maybe a good one for uservoice https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/

I too would like to remove this option and would like to know if this can be done.
I was hoping that the followng steps would work:
Go to the library
Library Settings
Advanced Settings
Enable Content Types
In the library settings add a document content type
This does remove all the options except for the link.
Then I treid switching back to the classic style and the link option disappeared. So it looks like this only works in the old style libraries.

Bummer.
I want to clean up the new item menu in some libraries where I work specificaly with content types.
So I allready found out that dispite the use of content types the 'link' item stays as part of the new item menu.

Hi Rebekka -
Have you been able to figure out how to do this? Would PowerShell do it?
