I suspect that the Navigator has not included the Field object simply because
there is a need to update / fix a broken field when a referenced Bookmark is
inadvertently deleted, for example.  However, I definitely agree with you that
Fields should be included as navigable items in the Navigator, and that they
should ADDITIONALLY be in that tree, which would be very helpful as well. 
Neither IBM Lotus Symphony versions nor Apache OpenOffice versions have ever
included Fields in their "navigator" features either, though that really should
have been included from the start IMO.  And yes, that probably is low-hanging
fruit, but being unfamiliar with the codebase, I'm not sure.
