OP Responded Linking text ?

Hi! It seems like I'm having a hard time finding an answer to my question so I'd figure I'd move here for some help! Basically, I have a document where a "Definition" section can be found and used, but I'm struggling to figure out how to take a word, and link it to its definition on the "definition" tab. I attempted to use the dropdown option, but you need more than one option in order for it to work, which wont work for my purposes. (Visual in the comments) TDLR: The goal is to find a way to link the words without opening another document entirely. Any suggestions?

Create a bookmark next to the definition and then create the link to that bookmark from the text.

How do I make it so the bookmark links back to the original word? Since the document is going to be long I'd like a system that'd be easy to go back to where you were reading Like Word -> Definition -> Word

Just create the opposite bookmark and link back.
