Searching for another thing i was back to this topic, with a bit more experience, so I thought it was worth to explain this last point:
App::PropertyLink have many different declinations with different scopes. If you want to link to an objectB out of the container of an objectA, you just have to use a App::PropertyLinkGlobal instead of a simple App::PropertyLink.

Thanks. But how do you do that from the GUI?

I do no think you can: the object that wants to point Globally to another object have to be designed like this.
I think many object Properties in Draft and Arch object were designed long time ago, before this was implemented in FreeCAD, so they do not yet support this kind of linking...
