There appears to be no way to generate hyperlinks when creating an index of tables. This should behave like the table of contents.
I agree, that would be better but it works as designed, so that is not a bug: changed for enhancement.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Enhancement => setting as NEW. Best regards. JBF
Still happens on LibreOffice 3.4.6 OOO340m1 (Build:602) This feature would be very useful. See also https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39904
Same issue is still present in 4.2.3.3. Illustration Index and Table of Contents can include hyperlinks, but for some reason not Index of Tables. It definitely doesn't look like a design decision.
Note that there is no workaround available.
