Right-click on "Note-taking file" in the Record Link field and then
choose Remove link.

Hmm, always something new to consider. I don't think I ever noticed the
Delete Link feature, so I've always just deleted manually in the field
but made sure to get rid of the green.

Deleting the link from the copied record is safe (provided you double-
check that it is actually the copied record, not the original).  It is
very important, though, to use the "Delete link" feature, and not simply
delete the text of the link manually.  If you simply backspace over the
link within the field, the link itself will actually remain (there'll be
a little green bit in the field to indicate it) and things will get
confusing when you try to insert a different link.  

Good luck,
