What works a bit like that is the "master document" feature. I have never 
tried breaking down anything as husge as what you have into that; but I 
know that using it is covered in some detail i some of the OOo books, 
presumably since the authors had to master the feature themselves to get 
the books out. 

If the document is already broken into chapters, then save each, 
individually as a file, and read up on master documents before reassembling 
them. I know that you have to do a certain amount of preparation and make 
the right choices when setting up the MD. But it sounds as if that would be 
time well spent.
