Dear community,  
I haven’t found what I’m looking for in the forum. I know that you can create links from one document to another in Scrivener.  
I’d like to create a link from a certain word or paragraph in one document (i.g. in the editor) to another word or paragraph in the same (or another) document which might be some hundred words away. If I create a link from one document to another I need to search the whole document to find the exact place my link refers to.

Is it possible to define a target for the link? And how do you do that?  
Thanks in advance.

Pamina

Yes, there are some good ways of doing that. I wrote a long [how-to](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/link-specific-text-from-one-document-to-another/50621/2) on the topic a while back. I hope you find something useful in there, and the discussion following.
