We do not have a simple interface for inserting hyperlinks-- We have to do it by
using two different windows: 
(a) Define the link in the "Target in document" window and press "Apply"
(b) Switch to the "Hyperlnk" window and press "Apply".

If the user forgets to click the second "Apply" button, the hyperlink is lost!

This is tedious and prone to errors. 

The design assumes that the user would define additional settings each time,
(such as "define the frame in which the hyperlinked material would appear"), 
etc.

But in actual practice 99% of the hyperlinks are simple and targetted within the
document. Therefore, this elaborate arrangement is not required for most users.
It hampers our work if we wanted to insert a huge number of hyperlinks rapidly.

So it would be better if the user can trigger the "Target in document" window
directly, without needing the "Hyperlink" window for his normal uses. 

In fact, the "Hyperlinks" window can be made to appear from the "Target in
document" window through a "options" button. It offers rarely used options, such
as (a) link to mail, internet, new document and (b) The "Further settings" 
section.

In other words, switch the roles of these two windows: The  "Target in document"
window should be the first to appear, and the "Hyperlink" window can provide
advanced options (IF at all required).
