I have a couple of ExtendScripts that might help. One adds a newlink to specific paragraph formats and the other adds the gotolink. You would need to customize them and possibly modify them in other ways, but it might be a start. Let me know if you would like for me to send them to you. (I don't know if we are allowed to send attachments here.)

A cross-reference is a hyperlink. If you are using a specific paragraph tag for your target, why not just use a cross-reference? Or you could use Glossary markers. Matt Sullivan has a good section explaining how to set up Glossary Terms and Glossary Definitions (marker types you'd have to create) in his FrameMaker Working with Content book ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://techcommtools.com/books/__;!!KwNVnqRv!UjthGn2Gjlzi2JoNodQTJ_4BVpr2g5seqMVlSLBfO4dITNyRREzSCnJtG8lNxeP8Mw$ ). That one is for 2017, but he's putting out one for 2020 soon. On Thu, Oct 22, 2020 at 1:40 PM Bertrand Meyer <[email protected]> wrote: > This is a novice question.
