Bug Description
Some symbols selected from the default installed libraries display a single (clickable) "~" in the Datasheet field. Maybe some kind of validity control should be applied to this field to prevent this bogus display (and link)

Also, for the same reason, if such a symbol is used in a schematics, right-click / Open documentation opens a warning "Doc file "~" not found". The menu item should be disabled instead.
Do you want me to report this in another bug report or is it considered as the same bug ?
