Comment (by jeremyclarke):

 AFAIK "Link" refers to a whole reference from one part of the web to
 another, whereas URL/URI more accurately describes specifically the
 address of a resource.

 In this case I think URL is definitely the right way to label the button.
 "Link" should only be used when the result will be an <a> tag. This button
 is part of a system to define what the uploaded image will 'link' to, but
 the attachment-post choice isn't a link, it's a url.
