[Libreoffice] Follow from reference staright to the paper?

Asquator
Hello!

Is there an easy way to follow from a reference number in a libreoffice document straight to the referenced paper? When having many references, it's hard to track which number leads where/search the bibliography every time.

Thank you!

    There is a VBA macro for MS Word which does that, but I don't believe anyone has done one for LibreOffice.

    Perhaps a project for someone ? An AI chatbot like Gemini might be smart enough to do a direct translation from ZoteroCiteLinker's VBA to LibreOffice Basic ? LibreOffice Basic has at least partial support for running VBA macros ...

    As a workaround, maybe you can use an author-date style instead of a numeric style?
    Since the in-text citations contain partial information about the reference, it reduces the need to look at the full bibliography while you are preparing the document. You can switch to a numeric style whenever you need (and back to author-date if necessary).
