Description: in bibliography, you have to decide between the short title or number but not both. This makes referencing difficult as in a printed document the reader will think it is merely an empty reference without any details because only short title is shown in the actual text. Then user must manually see the name and verify from bibliography index the full citation. i am asking that we give option for both. short title and number like we give number with title in an endnote Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert a bibliography entry following https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/swriter/guide/indices_literature.html?DbPAR=WRITER 2. insert "table of contents> bibliography" Actual Results: you can show the actual bibliography entry short title or number but not both. Expected Results: i am hoping for an option to show both short title and number the same way we show a number in endnote.

Created attachment 194326 [details] bibliography number test
to reiterate the feature, currently we can either show the citation as lorem (John vs doe) ipsum or lorem (1) ipsum i am asking that we show the citation as Lorem (John vs doe (1) ipsum
I can see the problem 1. Open attachment 194326 [details] 2. Place cursor into index -> edit index It's only possible to select or deselect "number entries", but you can't combine it with showing entries. But I also don't understand the order of entries in the index. It has john vs doe Cat vs dog but since it is sorted "Alphanumeric", I would expect Cat vs dog john vs doe I miss also information in help page about "Formating of the Entries" and "Sort", see https://help.libreoffice.org/24.8/en-GB/text/swriter/01/04120211.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/tocindexpage/TocIndexPage#bm_id3145247 So perhaps design team can give some insights
Can we make this request a duplicate of bug 157064 or some other from META bug 101258?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > Can we make this request a duplicate of bug 157064 Yes please. And rather than one off handling of a few styles as here, we need ability to style against CSL; and even better integration of CSL capable reference managers as extension (e.g. Zotero or Mendeley).
