Create Cross references by dragging from navigator
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:48 UTC
When I use the navigator to reference headings or other bookmarks I've got links. It would be very helpful to implement a function which creates a cross reference instead. Until now it is possible to insert cross references by the menu. To implement this feature in the navigator would be timesaving since I'm working for a press agency where we're writing masses of texts. Maybe this is a feature for one of the next releases. Thank you for reply. Martin
Reassigned to requirements.
A possible way to obtain this: suppose that under the “Drag mode” menu on the Navigator you find an option called “As cross reference”: using it, when you drag-n-drop a heading from the navigator a short menu appears showing some options to insert cross-references. Something like: Insert cross-reference ---------------------- Chapter name Chapter number Page number Before/After All I think this feature could make a big difference when editing long and complex documents, making some easy cross-referencing tasks (for more complex stuff, the Insert → Fields → Other → Cross-reference tab will be always available) far more accessible.
