Bibliography links

[Brian Kneller]

Hi,

I have just configured a bibliography for  Lyx using a data feed from Bookends exported into Bibdesk for final tweaks . As the reference related text already  exists with reference calls using Author (Date) etc, rather than complicate matters  by replacing these I am considering using a simple [n]  hyperlink generated by LyX manually appended to the existing text. As this number is assigned at “compile” time what happens with Lyx if I were to add or delete a reference in my bibliography would Lyx adjust the numbers to maintain the registration between the numbers and references and to provide  a continuous sequence of  numbers which are aligned with the correct reference with any gaps or additions taken into account? 

Thank you
