            Bug ID: 68124
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Cross-reference building blocks needed
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: bruce.byfi...@gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: (See in Summary)
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

LO's cross-reference tool centers on the source and reference. However, a
complete cross-reference also consists of what might be called "building
blocks" -- short phrases that link the source fields.

For example: "For more information, see "[REFERENCE]," page [PAGE].Here, 'For
more information, see "' and '," page' would be building blocks.

You can use macros or AutoText for entering building blocks, but this method is
clumsy because it requires juggling dialog windows. A more efficient solution
would be to build and display building blocks in the same window as the
cross-references, so that they can be added along with the source fields.

A tool like those for organizing table of contents element might be useful.
