I'm not so sure that this is a good idea. First, see the comment by foxcole in
the community forum:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1227#p4788 In short:
A fully hyperlinked index with hundreds or even thousands of items would add an
enormous overhead in file size and build time, especially when people generate
an index using a concordance file.

There's also another objection: alphabetical indexes were invented to make
searching in printed text less time consuming. In digital texts you can simply
use the Search or Find command of the viewing software, which doesn't require
any overhead.
