It's funny, I was thinking about that while writing my dissertation.

After a year of coding on Visual Studio, during writing I would say something like "As mentioned in previous chapters, the decision was based on..." and then just click on "previous chapters" and press F12, expecting to be taken to the original reference.

Unfortunately I found out Word does not offer such functionality just yet

Word can use "above" or "below" in cross-references, but I wouldn't count on it.
