So your problem is, that you want to use the same scene separator at various
places and that there should be an easy way to exchange the characters which
build the separator. Using a bitmap seems to be only a workaround.

Currently I know these two ways:
(A) Write the characters, mark them, and generate a bookmark. Include blanks at
start and end, that makes later editing much easier. At all other places, where
you want this separator, enter a reference to the bookmark. Use as Insert type
"Reference" to get the characters and not e.g. the page number. For to change
the separator, edit the bookmark and then use Tools > Update to update the
references. You need to style the target paragraph with the same style as the
source paragraph manually. Styles are not included in bookmarks.
(B) Write the characters, then make a section from that paragraph. At all other
places insert a section which is a link to the first generated section. You
will find the link option in the section dialog. In this solution the styles
are copied too.

In theory there exists a solution with frames. The ODF file format allows to
define a frame as copy-of of another frame, so that again only one place is
used to specify the content. But this feature is not implemented in
LibreOffice. It would be the attribute draw:copy-of.
