Description: Hi, this is a suggestion. I am writing a book, it already has almost 1600 pages in Writer, and often use the same exact Document hyperlink (a section in my book) when I highlight a given word. That word always links only to that location. The suggestion is to have the software recall my last link for that word or the most frequent link and prefill it so I don't have to scroll among my 200 book bookmarks to select it again. This would make hyperlinks to book sections easier. Since 99% of the time we link to the same place for an identical word, makes sense to suggest the last link or most common or whatever is easier to write a code for.

Thank you for the suggestion. I see this as a low-priority improvement. I'm not sure how it could be done without affecting other workflows or being confusing to some users, but I guess reusing the exact same hyperlink text is not such a common thing. UX/Design team, what do you think? Potentially useful workarounds: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/replacing-text-with-url-link/34641
Alex, is the workaround acceptable for you? If not, please elaborate a bit why you need hyperlinks from one specific word at many occasions to one specific chapter. Reminds me on a table of contents, which would have a "Apply to all occurrences", or the alphabetical index generated from a concordance file.
