He's already using markers. His issue is that there are thousands of them and he doesn't want to have to manually type everything out everytime he inserts a link to another location in the document.
If I understood him correctly, what he wants is to be able to select which predefined target marker to go to from a drop-down list when inserting the marker to create the hypertext link instead of having to manually type it in each time he inserts the gotolink marker. This would have to be scripted. Neither the Hypertext Marker insert nor the general Marker Insert window provide a drop-down list for anything other than the type of marker or type of Hypertext command to make part of the marker. I suppose a brute force method would be to create the destination marker first, then find the first instance of the word or term you want to hyperlink to a definition, create your gotolink, copy the word or term including the marker, then do a search for the word or term and replace it with the information on the clipboard. In fact, I think that was the method recommended by Matt Sullivan when he described how to set up special markers for glossary terms and definitions in the article I linked to earlier in the thread. Except in Matt's solution, you can (I think) get it to open a non-modal window with the text of the definition at the spot so the user can just click the link, read the term in the pop-up, and close the pop-up without having to return the the original location in the document because you never left it. Or maybe that was one of Shlomo Perets TimeSavers.
