<pre>I'm reopening this. I now agree with Ulrich Windl (in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=81658#c9">Comment 9</a>) that "It seems
the fix isn't complicated, but would help usability a lot."
The 2 suggested workarounds are not really workable:
1. Create a caption and reference it instead.
a. The user may not want to have a caption. (That's true for me.)
b. Clicking on the link leads to the caption, not the table. OK if the caption
is above the table, but not OK if its below (esp a long table).
c. Even if the above issues are relevant to certain users, the steps are
unnecessarily tedious.
2. Drag and drop a table object from the Navigator into the document.
a. This creates a link with a line, which may be undesirable.
b. The user can't insert the page number and other elements available for
cross-references.
Since LO can cross-reference footnotes, why not tables?
So again, I'd like to request this enhancement: Include Tables among
Cross-references, which "isn't complicated, but would help usability a lot."
For the benefit of others seeking the same, my current workaround is to place a
bookmark on the first row of the table, and cross-reference that. That's the
only way I know to make the result elegant, but it's a bit tedious. A fix is
still much preferred, and will be much appreciated.</pre>
