auto update index numbers <-> text

[Xytraz]

I don´t know how to describe this so I´ll use this example:

 

Say I have 100 pages book and at the end there is an index of people that appear in the book

In the text appear names like Jack (1) is the father of Jim (1.1) and his sister is Maria (1.2) ... family story, lot of names.

The people appear on several pages.

Then there is a tree index at the end of the book:

Jack (1)

---> Jim (1.1)

---> Maria (1.2)

Now it could happen that there will be parents of Jack found and all the numbering needs to be updated like:

James (1)

Jack (1.1)

---> Jim (1.1.1)

---> Maria (1.1.2)

Is there a way to force the document to be updated when I edit the index?

I know there are symbols but these don´t seem to be quite right for this.

Possible or future feature ? ;-)

We currently have indexes and tables of contents, but not more general cross-references. Cross references will be added in future.
