Hallo Xisco Fauli,

Thank you for your answer.
I attach a typical document.
In this document you will not find hyperlinks in "Verzeichnis der Tabellen" and "Verzeichnis der Abbildungen" on page 5. The hyperlinks disappearesd due to storing an re-opening the document.
When you edit these two table of contents you can add the hyperlinks for the page numbers and everything works fine as long as you stay whithin the actual session.

it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

1. Scroll to Verzeichnis der Tabellen on page 5
2. Right-click, Edit index
3. Tab: Entries
4. Click inside the empty field before # and click Hyperlink
5. Do the same for the empty field after # and click OK
6. Now you can Ctrl-click the page numbers to jump to the pages
7. Save & reload
8. Go back to the index

Strangely it still allows to Ctrl-click and jumps correctly, but when you edit it, you see the links are gone. Right-click - Update index and you can no longer Ctrl-click the numbers.

Does not seem to be a regression, as in 3.5 the option to add links does not even exist.

Looks like a duplicate of what should be fixed now.

@ Jhonny M: Its not! The bug still persists in the latest 5.3.7 and 5.4.4 builds at the time i am writing this. Its really annoying, big time!

That is not a contradiction. :) It should be fixed *in the code*. Per "Whiteboard" of the bug 71737, the fix will be available in the following future ("target") versions:

> target:6.1.0 target:6.0.0.1 target:5.4.5

You are absolutely right that the versions 5.3.7 and 5.4.4 are not fixed.

Sorry for confusion.
