--- Comment #15 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Suspect there is room in the refactoring needed to navigate document elements
to also include markers and flags being set against line numbers. But
let's fix subject as Line numbering is calculated layout decoration applied to
the margin or to the gutter between columns of text. 

Its format is manipulated by the Line Number dialog which can be assigned to a
toolbar button, or a keyboard short cut via the customization dialog.

Note there is a distinction to be made between Margins and Gutters. A single
section/column document has no Gutter. The spacing between multiple columns of
text are gutters--configured to document canvas with sections.

That said, agree adding additional decoration of hyperlink markers and flags in
the margins would be a nice visual aid.  Not clear if the ODF specification has
a good container for them--so my have to extend it.

Currently, the Navigator supports dropping bookmarkers, and reminders anywhere
gaining text cursor focus into the document canvas.  Then movement in Navigator
is modal--selecting bookmark or reminder (or other document element).

Alternatively, the dedicated Navigation Toolbar (bug 32869) provides web
browser like forward & backward navigation between all the structural elements
of a document including the markers--but needs additional rework (bug 115817)
to bring in line with contemporary UX expectations.
