Linking to text anchors or bookmarks

I am creating a clickable PDF with indesign. I made bookmarks in Indesign from alle the chapters. Because I want boomarks to show up in Acrobat for accesibility reasons.

Now I need to make some hyperlinks as well (text anchors) to certain chapters in my document because in my text there are links to certain parts. Bookmarks don't seem to pop up in my panel when I want to create a hyperlink. So I also have to make all hyperlink destinations from all the chapters (double work...). But when I do, it says the hyperlink destination allready exists. (probably because the bookmark was alleready created and has the same name (name of the chapter).

Am I doing something wrong? Why can't bookmarks also show up as a hyperlink destination as well when making the hyperlinks. That would make live so much easier and quicker. Now I have to do the work twice and make sure the name is different.

I also am wondering why I cannot see the hyperlink destinations in a panel. I can only see the links themself and the bookmarks, but the destinations that I made are tucked away...  Anyone suggestions on making this easier?
