Good morning and sorry for the late reply.
Probably I did not / do not understand how this works.
1. Inserted+named a bookmark
2. Inserted a hyperlink (see next paragraph) pointing to the bookmark. 
Works fine in the odt file.

Initially I specificed the name of the file I was working on under 
"Document -> Path". This resulted in errors in the PDF file telling me 
Windows cannot find that file.
Then I tried to leave the field blank. There was no error any more, but 
the link did not work either.
I also tried to specify the file name only, without path, because the 
above mentioned errors complained about the path.

Next I tried (it was already late in the night, so I did not really dive 
into the subject) using cross references
for which I referred to the documentation. I get something that looks 
like a link - but does not work in the PDF.

Is there maybe a little checkbox that needs to be checked or unchecked 
during the export?
Is there anything else I could try?
Thomas
