I wholeheartedly support this effort. After spending nearly a week trying to do
something that turned out to be undoable, I am eager to create an Alphabetical
index that will make my large document much more user friendly.

In this case, you should add yourself to the cc-list: A great number of people
in cc is an important indicator, that the feature is important.

I would like to support this petition.
This feature is specially useful for manual and technical documents, so you can
easily navigate to the topics of interest: I mean when the document is exported
to PDF.

--- Comment #14 from Ulrich Windl  ---
On comment 12: I don't quite understand: There is a provision in ODF to create
arbitrary links. So when using such for the index, the only problem I see is
automatically updating those.
So what would be needed is a kind of flag that says the link had been created
automatically, and maybe what procedure was responsible for creating it.
However if the link's target is a symbolic reference (with a constant name), a
manual update of such links seems not necessary to me (as it's done
"automagically" then).

Thanks for the explanation! It makes more sense now why this hasn't been done

Such links would have to be saved in "ODF 1.3 extended" using an own namespace,
and they would be lost if saving in "ODF 1.3".

Yes, other applications would ignore the links.

It is possible, but the way is long. First LibreOffice has to implement it in
its own namespace, then LibreOffice makes a proposal to the OASIS ODF TC, and
then -I estimate- it would take at least three years to get the change finally
into the standard.

Can you clarify whether this means:
A) Adding links to an alphabetical index would cause save/load problems with
the file format.
B) They can be added, but the files would be incompatible with other programs
using the ODF standard.
C) Something else?

Sorry if that's a silly question -- I'm not familiar with how LO development
works.

This index is different form the other type of indexes, because for an
alphabetical index a hyperlink in the index entry does not exist in the ODF
standard.

Whoever is interested in implementing this feature can always get help via chat
or mailing list. And when the Corona pandemic is over, we will surely have
hackfests again. Unfortunately nobody has shown any interest so far.

It is interesting to see that for nearly 7 years not one developer has ever
thought of addressing this rather vital and important issue.

Maybe the LibreOffice team should consider something like a once a year coding
session inviting other programers to look at old bugs and fix them...?

I agree this is a glaring flaw and would love to see links added to the page
numbers in alphabetical indexes.

--- Comment #7 from LibreTraining  ---
Is it possible to somehow get this moved up in the queue?

This is a rather bad limitation when creating any kind of long document.

Given that a substantial portion of the LO user base is academia this is sort
of a glaring feature hole in LibreOffice.

--- Comment #6 from mi...@filmsi.net ---
The index editing/creation dialog does not allow to add hyperlink fields; since
the mechanism is the same as for TOC, this should not pose a lot of work, most
of it can be reused from the TOC GUI and underlying code.

Maybe extending functionality of tables of contents and indexes could become
one of the next Google Summer of Code projects?

There is this feature, then there is the possibility to add several different
indexes (without the concordane tables), I am sure there are also other issues.

Just renaming the index/TOC commands in the menus and moving them around really
does not make GUI of LO better, what needs to be extended is the functionality
of these functions.

This is a major shortcoming in index creation, given that hard-copy is becoming
