--- Comment #15 from my real name <rolandocz at gmail.com> ---
There actually seems to be one identifier that links the entry with the
database, and it's the "identifier" field, which has to be unique to each
database entry, and if you copy and paste text that contains references to a
blank database-less odt document, sillily, the identifier is copied and not the
reference number.
I'm using version  6.1.5.2, and while still a buggy mess, it isn't absolutely
hopeless, after updating the database, removing and adding several entries,
everything gets gradually fixed by itself. 
The most annoying thing is repeated entry numbers, which I have to deal one by
one, deleting and reinserting.
Another annoying "feature" is that you cannot search the entries in the text, a
workaround is that you can copy to a plain text application and then search to
find offending entries, because the reference number and not the identifier is
copied to plain text (maybe "paste special" would work?). Arghhh, everything
seems fine now, finally, after a long bug wading journey.
