Hyperlinks for figures do not work with bookdown::word_document2, reference_docx

The R Markdown document below is designed to output to a Microsoft Word file using a custom template. However, I’m having trouble getting cross-references to figures to work (clickable hyperlink) in the Word document. Does anyone know why?

---
title: "Minimal working example"
author: "Author's name"
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
output:
  bookdown::word_document2: 
    toc: false
    number_sections: false
    global_numbering: true
    reference_docx: "template.docx"

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
# Let's setup a few things.
rm(list=ls())
library(knitr)
library(officedown)
library(officer)
library(ggplot2)
library(tidyverse)
library(broom)
library(flextable)
library(table1)
library(kableExtra)
library(boot) 

# set chunks defaults
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  echo       = FALSE,
  message    = FALSE,
  warning    = FALSE
)
# set flextable defaults
set_flextable_defaults(
  font.family = "Arial Narrow", 
  font.size = 10, 
  theme_fun = "theme_booktabs",
  big.mark="", 
  table.layout="autofit", 
  text.align = "center")
```
# Results

Results are presented in Figure \@ref(fig:scatterplot).

```{r scatterplot, fig.cap="Scatter plot", fig.height=4, fig.width=6, out.width="100%"}
## create scatter plot with random data points  
set.seed(123)
data <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100))
ggplot(data, aes(x = x, y = y)) + 
  geom_point() + 
  theme_minimal()
```

bookdown does not support creating cross reference as docx internal link.

It is not a feature implemented yet.

If you want an alternative you can have a look at Quarto : Word Basics – Quarto
It has a word format support using similar R Markdown syntax, and cross reference will be link in the output document. Syntax is a bit different for the references: Cross References – Quarto

Hope it helps

Thanks a lot for your quick answer, it really helps. Then I am going to have a deeper look at Quarto.
