Default How to link similar strings.

Is it possible in word to link similar string?

for example in Table 3 strings matching by this regex


[A-Z]{2} [0-9]{5,} [A-Z0-9]{1,2}
for eg
US 1234567 B1

Now, is it possible to link every instance of US 1234567 B1 (by any means) to that in the table 3.

I mean if in table 2 or anywhere, US 1234567 B1 is present by anymeans can we link in such a way that when I click or do similar task, to reach the similar string in table 3.

Just thought came in mind as It would ease things for me if such thing is possible. Have no Idea weather possible or not.

You could bookmark the instance of each unique string, then replace the other instances with cross-references or hyperlinks to the bookmark.
