Keyword: FORMATTING

I'm creating an MSc thesis. I have a table of contents where each entry links to the page number, using the Hyperlink button in the formatting.

I also have a table of illustrations. The Hyperlink button isn't available here, so I can have the illustration and the page number where it occurs, but I cannot have a hyperlink to jump to that page, because the Hyperlink button doesn't exist in the entrey formatting options for a table of illustrations.

Please make that button available. It makes no sense from a user's point of view to make it possible to have a link to a page number in the TOC but not for a table of illustrations.

Unless I'm seeing this the wrong way, and it is possible to add links to a table of illustrations but in some non-obvious way.

This is my first bug submit. Please let me know if I filled the bug report correctly. I have given my platform information, even if I think this might afferct everyone. Am I right in giving platform info? Then someone will probably check whether this missing feature applies to other platforms?

Still happens on
LibreOffice 3.4.6

This feature would be very useful.

Changed for enhancement and all OS/platform.

Best regards. JBF

This issue actually extends to any other index as well, such as a keyword index or a custom index and ideally should imho be solved in a general way. 
(BTW: There's a similar enhancement request for AOO: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=61089)
