As is velocity.

I disagree. There are LOTS of real world quantities that are related in
some way to other real world quantities. Velocity (a vector) is related to
differential displacement and differential time. Momentum is related to
mass and velocity.

That is correct. And work is characterized by its relationship to
DISPLACEMENT in general, not distance. The relation to distance only
applies in a simple sub case.
