Ah, actually, I haven't thought of what I want to ask for in the case of field
indications off. Probably the same thing I asked for already, but it's another
thing to think about.

Indeed: Nothing.

You mean, when they're selected in the navigator? Hmm. Interesting question.
The thing is, images and tables are bigger and already very eye-catching. A
bookmark is barely noticeable.


By the way: Important use case: You have multiple bookmarks without meaningful
names, and you want to know which of them refers to which place in the text.
Especially relevant for bookmarks imported/generated from DOCX files.
