Using the "glossaries" package, is it possible to typeset all glossary entries showing cross-references, but without the number list's page number appearing?

Thanks.

The easiest way is to move the cross-reference part into the description. For example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
 
\usepackage[nonumberlist]{glossaries}
 
\makeglossaries
 
\newglossaryentry{sample1}{name=sample 1,description={An example}}
\newglossaryentry{sample2}{name=sample 2,description={An example}}
\newglossaryentry{sample3}{name=sample 3,description={An 
example, \glsseeformat{sample2}{}}}
 
\begin{document}
\gls{sample1}, \gls{sample2}, \gls{sample3}.
 
\printglossaries
\end{document}

(Note that \glsseeformat has a second argument that is always ignored.)

This works well for me. I settled on a format that produces the following two sample outputs:

term1 (See term2).
term2 A short description. (See term2).

I insert a period at the end of my description, just before my cross-reference, and capitalized the see name. This works well in the event a description is not required (as with term1). However, I omit ending the cross-reference with a period (which would be more appropriate, I think) as glossaries adds one automatically at the end of each description. If I did, I'd get

term1 (See term2.).
term2 A short description. (See term2.).

which looks strange. Perhaps there's a way to get rid of the description's trailing punctuation?

Many thanks for your help.
