Hello, I want to insert a link back to index before each page break. I tried copying the link the index itself has #\_\_RefHeading\_\_\_Toc625\_1065506798 but when I insert it into a hyperlink it adds http:// that I cannot remove and makes it invalid. I see [here](https://help.collaboraoffice.com/24.04/en-US/text/swriter/01/04040000.html?System=&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/insertbookmark/#bm_@@nowidget@@) “bookmarks are converted to anchors that you can jump to from a hyperlink.” but I cannot find a way to copy its address. I also see [here](https://help.collaboraoffice.com/latest/en-US/text/swriter/guide/hyperlinks.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3155845) that I should be able to drag from navigator but the links aren’t draggable and only take you to locations upon double click. I see there should be a drag mode button, but I do not see that anywhere. Please advise, thank you.
