You are right - it would be nice to have such feature in OOo
...
but currently OOo does not have such feature .-)

There are already interface supporting canceling of load
requests.
css.frame.XFrameLoader and css.document.XFilter.
So it seams that only XComponentLoader needs some new
functionality.

But - please dont forget that those cancel request must be
supported
by the code implementing the interface. If e.g. the filter
is blocked by
a system call nobody can cancel these request.

Solution a) XDesktop.terminate() wouldnt help. Because it
finds the new
created frame used for the load request. And those frame
hinder the 
office on termination. So this API call will return
"false".

Solution b) Kill the office hardly. Then you will trigger
the mechanism
behind AutoRecovery and CrashSave. Also not an option to be
used realy.

Seams you need the new interface 
XComponentLoader2.cancelLoadComponentFromURL() .-)

Interesting. Maybe there is a way to obtain a frame from the
Desktop and
then use XFrameLoader to load the document instead of using
XComponentLoader then?
