Maybe it doesn't work in Linux,
but LO's 'Find-Replace' works with multiple documents for me;
[still with 3.4 ]
The only thing that never worked is the 'Find', for some reason ;-)
I'll click on that one by mistake at times, only to have the
document sit doing nothing ...
then I click on the Find-Replace and can find, or whatever, fine
;-)
Was this a bug back-then or what?

Yes, I remember something like that as well, but I do not remember what it
was or what version of LO it was used with.
That would be real handy for book authors and editors.
Piers Anthony, a highly regarded SciFi and Fantasy writer, used Fedora and
LO for writing his books. He is in his mid 70's now so he has scaled back
to 1 or 2 books per year, instead of 3 or more. He has created macros to
help him do the work he needs and uses a different keyboard layout than the
standard QWERTY keyboard. In one of his Author's Notes, he stated that he
needed a package that worked with his type of keyboard and had the ability
to create/use the types of macros he needs for making his writing easier.
He seems to be a big "fan" of having multiple documents open at the same
time and editing across those documents.
SO, you should be able to find the extension needed for your cross-document
editing.
