A document can carry several hyperlinks that point at a given bookmark.
Obviously, the description at the hyperlinked text has some relation with the
text where the bookmark is placed. This in turn means that if we change the text
at the bookmark, we should check the text at hyperlinks also; to ensure that
they remain consistent with the changed text.

But currently Writer does not have a tool to find the "where used" list for a
given bookmark.

Please provide such a tool.

I agree, it might be useful to have a function "what links to here"
Comment 2 michael.ruess 2006-01-09 14:28:03 UTC 
Marked as enhancement and reassigned to requirements.

More suggestions on implementing this:

This window could display a collapsible tree (like the Navigator) where the tree
would have a separate node for each bookmark. Each leaf of that node is a link
that points to this bookmark.

>> When the user double-clicks (or single-clicks on the [+] sign) on this node,
he sees all links that point at this bookmark.

>> If the user double-clicks on a leaf (i.e., link), the focus changes to the
Writer window, where the concerned link is highlighted. At this point, the
"Links" window should not close, so that the user can use it again (just like
Navigator)

>> In case of some links, the target bookmark may be missing (this happens if
the target is deleted afterwards). Show all such orphan links attached to a
dummy node called "None". (See  Issue 60255 for a related discussion).

In fact, the whole mechanism described above could be added to Navigator itself!
