I suggest using Base to store all the Index Entries of a document instead of
using the Navigator.
All Index Entries should be synchronized in real time with a record in a
database.
Each time you insert an Index Entry in the document, the database should be
automatically updated.
Each time you modify the database record, the Index Entry in the document should
be automatically updated.
Objectives:
1.Facilitating advanced editing of Index Entries (Find, Find and Replace and
Edit to grouping).
2.Provide a graphical solution to certain issues, without changing the Writer
GUI.
- My proposal would render obsolete these Issues:
Issue 20599
Issue 61096
Issue 61778
It would be enough to edit the database table.

- This solution could also be used as a graphical interface for the following
Issues:
Issue 6401
Issue 32392
Issue 94565
Issue 104691
Each new issue could be implemented as a new column in the database table.
In Ms Word some features are not accessible by GUI, but editing manually field
codes. Writers could use the metaphor of the database...

My opinion is that - a increased use of database in the production of documents
- would be very useful for scholars and writers.
The OpenOffice project Bibliographic[1] and Nota Bene word processor[2] (See
Ibidem and Orbis) are a good example of efficient use of a database with a word
processing program.
I attach some demonstration mock-up.
Sorry for my basic English.
