Heh, no. This was not a misunderstanding on *my* part, but you substitute a
discussion of "what is best for most" with your personal preference. Quite
valid as an enhancement request, no problem in that.

So your proposal seems to be "allow me to search by number only, in addition to
the already existing method of searching by matching in any place of paragraph
text". I agree that would be a valid enhancement (though not trivial, since
Writer's link provider only gives strings, not structure internally - but
that's an implementation detail that user does not have to think about), unless
a simple "match from the start of the paragraph text" would suffice.
