Request: Change inline labels automatically

I believe this is an very important feature for an outliner.

We usually number each outline objects, such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc., something like;
1.1 some aaaaaaaaa
1.2 some bbbbbbbb
1.3 some ccccccccc. For details please see “1.2”.

Then I insert an object between 1.1 and 1.2:
1.1 some aaaaaaaaa
1.2 some dddddddd
1.3 some bbbbbbbb
1.4 some ccccccccc. For details please see “1.2”.

Now at 1.4, the inline label “1.2” should be changed to “1.3” automatically, because that is exactly what I mean. Currently OO does not support this. I believe it should be a fundamental feature of an outliner.

  • function to change inline label automatically when it is changed in original object.
  • function to put some color or something to notify user that the label has changed:
    – blue for just the change
    – orange for the label that is split or co-joined
    – red for the label that is deleted
    – etc.
  • function to jump to the labeled object when I click the inline label, similar to href hyperlink.

I really hope this is included in next version.
