Looks like you've been busy. I know you where looking into porting BC macros into OpenOffice. But it looks like you've settled on using MS Wordl. If there are any macro's you'd like to included in BC send them my way.

I decided that for a Bible, Notepad++ might be better. It also has color text, and macro's, and the search/replace isn't too shabby.

I know quite some books that use multilinks to a single link.
Depending on how you create your book, a title referring to the index page (manual created TOC) could be seen as that.
The Bible could have multiple of those; where because of ease of use, a link could refer to next chapter, and another link to previous chapter (the same chapter)
Probably the single best use of TOC and links to navigate a complex book was written by the author Deputy-Dawg with his Summa Theologica they are absolutely fantastic.

At one point I created a macro in word that facilitated the ability to add a link, via a bookmark. The results where acceptable, but not as good as HTML HREF.
