The latter type of plot is called a "partial regression plot" or

You appear to be criticizing a single sentence after an egregious
removal of context.

I did not intend to criticize anything. The original poster said that a reviewer asked him to make a plot "using the residuals of the lm() and plotting them against a covariate". This is a bit vague, but sounded like an added variable plot to me, so I was simply trying to make the original poster aware of the existence of added variable plots and point him to some places where he could read more about them.
