docx cross-reference hyperlinks not preserved

I have an 80 MB docx (made with Word for Mac 16.66.1) with footnotes and endnotes. When I convert to epub, cross-references (internal hyperlinks made with Insert: Cross-reference) in the body are preserved (live, working) and in footnotes and endnotes, external links are also preserved, but internal ones, aka, cross-references, are not. They come out as plain text.

Since the book has hundreds of cross-references, I need their hyperlinks preserved, as they are when I produce a PDF for electronic distribution from within Word.

I've attached files that demonstrate the problem: an excerpt from the original file named "xref test.docx" as well as the input and output files from Calibre, "xref test - author.docx" and "xref test - author.epub" and the conversion log, "xref test conversion log.txt"

Note: In the original, I added a superscripted "i" in front of footnote reference marks so that they will be distinguishable from endnotes in the e-book.

Thank you!
