[Bug 124238] New: Add Insert bidirectional hyperlinks as an option to the hyperlinks bar.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124238

            Bug ID: 124238
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Add Insert bidirectional hyperlinks as an option to
                    the hyperlinks bar.
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.0.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows, all
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: jalhassoun@yahoo.com
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

I'm requesting the option: To create a pair of link anchors or markers such
that clicking on one navigates to the other & vice versa. This is available in
HTML, the term for it is "bidirectional hyperlinks".

Pls refer to web link:
http://www.microhowto.info/howto/create_a_bidirectional_hyperlink_in_html.html

Scenario
Suppose that i want to create a writer document that contains 2 text strings.
Associated with each text string is a marker of the form [n], one next to the
1st text string & one next to the 2nd text string.

I want to be able to click on the markers to navigate either from the 1st text
marker to the 2nd text string marker or vice versa.

I do not understand, what is special to need a request. You do it in OpenOffice
the same way as described for HTML:

Mark the text [1] and assign bookmark "One".
Mark the text [2] and assign bookmark "Two".
Mark the text [1] or double-click bookmark "One" in Navigator.
Insert hyperlink with target document, write Two into Target field, Apply,
Close.
Mark the text [2] or double-click bookmark "Two" in Navigator.
Insert hyperlink with target document, write One into Target field, Apply,
Close.

--- Comment #5 from roryof <of...@iol.ie> ---
The Footnote/Endnote functionality allows movement from the anchor to the
footnote/endnote and return to the anchor location by clicking on the
footnote/endnote reference number. This bidirectionality could perhaps easily
be copied and applied to hyperlinks.

Thank you Andre for clarifying things, & LOL on the link. A 1000 apologies for
submitting this as an issue, my mistake. 
I'm writing manuals with so many of these bidirectional links & am quite
familiar with the procedure outlined in comment 2, but its too time consuming
for so many links.
My BOSS wants to jump to the footnote, read it, then jump right back to where
he was on the text. I just work here...
But, honestly I think its a highly used feature by all those ppl who are
reading & writing books & dont want to go thru a lengthy Book
marking/hyperlinking process.
As for footnotes I dont think they READILY link back.

--- Comment #4 from Andre <aw...@googlemail.com> ---
This is an interesting idea (although at first I was reminded of the comefrom
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMEFROM] command :-).  But the link in comment 1
gives a good example for the use of a bidirectional hyperlink.

But this is clearly a feature request not a bug description and therefore not a
blocker (changing status accordingly.)

Comment 2 describes a work around but the I think that the reporter had
something less manual and more user friendly in mind.  Therefore I reopen the
issue.  It is a valid feature request.
