In LibreOffice Writer I cannot create a cross-reference to an image, it is only possible to create cross-reference to it's caption. By using the created link in PDF the screen jumps to the caption, not to the image.

Did you try to insert a bookmark above the image and point the crossref to that bookmark? – tohuwawohu Feb 16 '15 at 06:10

hmm, not, because that could be very exhausting in the case of more than 100 images – poetyi Feb 16 '15 at 17:40

OK - maybe using hyperlinks will fit your needs. See my answer below... – tohuwawohu Feb 16 '15 at 19:07

There are two solutions - depending on your needs:
For single images, you could insert a bookmark above the image, and add a cross-reference pointing to that bookmark. In the resulting PDF, the crossref jumps to the image. Of course, this isn't viable if there are a lot of pics to cross-ref (you may use a macro for this kind of task).
Instead of cross references, use hyperlinks. While cross references can't address objects like images directly and need a caption as target, hyperlinks may point to images directly.
- Pro: no need to put additional bookmarks near your images.
- Con: You can't automatically use the target page number or caption as hyperlink text.
To insert a hyperlink to an image: Make sure to select "Document" at the left of the insert Hyperlink dialogue (1), then click the button at the right of the "Target" text field (2). A list of target categories appears, allowing to select the appropriate image:

hmm, thank you so much, the solution with macro sounds good, because I have some programming skills. Do you have any example like this in macro? – poetyi Feb 16 '15 at 22:40

Sorry, no, i don't have an example. But [Andrew Pitonyaks's page](http://www.pitonyak.org/) is a great starting point regarding OOo macros. – tohuwawohu Feb 17 '15 at 07:10
