It has been over a decade since I've written anything long like that; but 15 or so years ago good word-processing software handled this problem properly. Indices automatically kept up to date, as did cross-chapter / file references. If aoo doesn't do that, it should be very high on the list of things to fix / add in the next rev. In that regard, I don't know if the iso standard which describes odt files deals with this, (and I can't look at it because one has to pay ISO to get a copy) but I would hope that it does, as it's an obvious well-known issue. If it doesn't, it's something that should be addressed via a proposal to iso with a sample implementation in the next rev of aoo.
