--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Sounds to me like an interesting enhancement but not inbuilt function.

It depends on the writing style, the target audience, and dictionaries what and
how to abbreviate. For example, APA allows words contained in Merriam-Webster
such as DNA as exception to the rules that acronyms always have to be fully
spelled first. Haven't found an example but could imagine that foot/endnotes
are used to explain acronyms. Hard to believe LibreOffice can maintain these
rules.

The replacement table sounds wrong to me. You _always_ replace "A" by "B" but
the first acronyms should be "A (B)" followed by "B" (and only in case you have
"B" in the text, btw.). Sounds more like a task for fields.
