Link within PB with multiple docx files

A PB consists of (=> is built from) multiple docx files -- a collection of 12 sermons, each one a "chapter" in the PB. I can't figure out how to insert a link in one docx that points to a different docx file (chapter) ...

Idea:   "This concept is dealt with in "section abc in "topic xyz" ...

If there is only one docx file, link to a different place in that file is not the problem ... but what can I do when linking to a place in a different source file in the same PB?

Any ideas or perhaps already solution?

    Why not just use one .docx file?

    Because of current concerns for overall size consideration, editing becoming too complicate,  simple adding to the collection, etc. 

    If linking within the same PB was possible (because after the files being compiled and the book built, the link would be within the same one PB.

    I could do this in Libronix (L3) but have found no way to do it in the current PBB - there are still some possible solutions I have not tried.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Mainly because of overall size and more convenient editing/updating, adding "chapters" to the collection from time to time, etc.

    I figured it should be possible because after the compilation of the PB it actually is only one file, so I thought it could contain links to places within the same book (PB).
    I know it's difficult to link between different PB ... but inside one book?

    Use Headwords e.g.

    This topic is dealt with in [[Section 2  >> Headword:Topic xyz]]

    In the other docx file use:

    [[@Headword:Topic xyz]]Topic xyz

    which could be a Word Heading style as above.

    Thank you, Dave.  This worked ... one "warning message" in the protocol of the built:

    [Info] Erstelle persönliches Buch
    [Warning] : =d~bible.73.4.13-73.4.18 is specified, but it is not attached to anything.
    [Warning] Unknown data type in use: topic+topics
    [Info] Entdecken
    [Info] Fertig

    It doesn't effect the working of the PB as such. I have no idea, what causes the warnings ...

    As long as it works you can ignore the warnings and errors (I have three errors because of fonts used).
