Description koeditzm 2010-03-30 16:24:11 UTC 
When I use the navigator to reference headings or other bookmarks I've got
links. It would be very helpful to implement a function which creates a cross
reference instead. Until now it is possible to insert cross references by the
menu. To implement this feature in the navigator would be timesaving since I'm
working for a press agency where we're writing masses of texts. Maybe this is a
feature for one of the next releases.

Thank you for reply.

A possible way to obtain this: suppose that under the “Drag mode” menu on the Navigator you find an option called “As cross reference”: using it, when you drag-n-drop a heading from the navigator a short menu appears showing some options to insert cross-references. Something like:

Insert cross-reference

I think this feature could make a big difference when editing long and complex documents, making some easy cross-referencing tasks (for more complex stuff, the Insert → Fields → Other → Cross-reference tab will be always available) far more accessible.
