That works fine for me in AOO whether I select the entire column or just some cells, so should work in LO.

This database can feed your text documents with bibliographic data. All formatting is done in the final output, not in the database and not in the source tables.
AOO Help, for I think what Villeroy calls "the existing one", says
Creating a Bibliography
A bibliography is a list of works that you reference in a document.
Storing Bibliographic Information
OpenOffice stores bibliographic information in a bibliography database, or in an individual document.
To Store Information in the Bibliography Database
1. Choose Tools - Bibliography Database.
2. Choose Insert - Record.
3. Type a name for the bibliography entry in the Short name box, and then add additional information to the record in the remaining boxes.
4. Close the Bibliography Database window.
To Store Bibliographic Information in an Individual Document
1. Click in your document where you want to add the bibliography entry.
2. Choose Insert - Indexes and Tables - Bibliography Entry.
3. Select From document content and click New.
4. Type a name for the bibliography entry in the Short name box.
5. Select the publication source for the record in the Type box, and then add additional information in the remaining boxes.
6. Click OK.
7. In the Insert Bibliography Entry dialogue box, click Insert, and then Close.
When you save a document that contains bibliography entries, the corresponding records are automatically saved in a hidden field in the document.
Inserting Bibliography Entries From the Bibliography Database
1. Click in your document where you want to add the bibliography entry.
2. Choose Insert - Indexes and Tables - Bibliography Entry.
3. Select From bibliography database.
4. Select the name of the bibliography entry that you want to insert in the Short name box.
5. Click Insert and then click Close.
