cross reference demo

steps to reproduce:

- open attached writer document, it contains chapter numbering and some cross 
  references, inserted via Menu Insert/Cross-reference/Headings

- Menu File/Send/Create Master Document 

- after update links, references are broken, showing: 
  Error: Reference source not found
Comment 1 Roman Kuznetsov 2019-10-12 20:49:38 UTC
When you create master document from your file you get master and two different ODT files splitted by Heading 1 style paragraph.
Now you have TWO files and Writer can't work with cross-reference between different files. It works only inside one file.

There is a workaround for it. You can use bookmarks in every ODT with unique names and then you'll paste bookmarks using fields->cross-reference->bookmarks in need ODT. In ODT you'll see some error, but when you'll open your master document its will be works fine.

May be it's a bug, but now it works that way...

Possible better will create an enhancement about cros-references between different files

cross reference demo with bookmarks

Added a second example with additionally two standard bookmarks/references:

- bookmark "bookmarkchapter1" has a reference from Chapter 2
- bookmark "bookmarkchapter1_text" has a reference from inside Chapter 1

But during master document export *all* xml <bookmark-start/><bookmark-end/> elements will be removed.

IMHO it could work, if the <bookmark-start/> <bookmark-end/> elements would not be removed during export. Maybe the unique "__RefHeading__4_2121972034" names need to be renamed before too.

global document with repaired bookmarks

added an attachment with manual repaired bookmarks in "global1.odt":

- bookmark "bookmarkchapter1_text"
- bookmark "Chapter 1.1" (Chapter 1.1)

cross references from "global2.odt" will now work

I confirm it with

I set status to NEW, because I think this shouldn't happen or there should be at least a warning.
