            Bug ID: 140260
           Summary: Enhancement: Make selected text a hyperlink to header
                    using Navigator
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.2 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I am familiar with creating hyperlinks to headers in a document, using the
button on the toolbar.

But I have a problematic situation. In my document I have over 1000 headers. So
when I open the hyperlink dialogue > Document and click the icon to the right
of Target, the whole list of headers is given in a very small window, and to
find the one I want to link to could take a minute or two, so it's very
time-consuming.

Here's my case: I have a list of words (a kind of contents page but the list is
in paragraph format and their are about 20 lists as well) 
and each word needs to be hyperlinked to a header in the document.
Using the hyperlink dialogue for 1000 headers would drive me insane.

I suggest: add ability to make *selected text* a hyperlink by dragging a header
from Navigator.

Currently the options for dragging headers to the doc allow creation of
hyperlinks but the header text is inserted, which I don't want.

if this is not clear pls send questions, thanks
