--- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

   + unclear use case, references to numbered paragraphs seems enough
   + never heard about references to line numbers in other office programs
   + but the request is to _show_ the line number
   + use case is apparently to link to a particular line
   + lines are not numbered (the annotation is some kind of decoration) and 
     referencing is tricky; unclear whether line within a current page or 
     the whole document
   + still, the recommended workflow is to use numbered paragraphs 
     (and keep those short)
   + (auto) bookmarks per macro might help

The recommendation is to not implement line numbers as target. Keep in mind
that we have to follow (and steer) the open document format and if such a
feature would be implemented it needs to be done in all applications using the
format and other formats too.
