Eric, Nice innovation.
One of the challenges some writing teams face is project portability vs. linking to shared content on a network. Sometimes variables provide a way to maintain portability and standards without requiring a live connection to a LAN architecture. Single-sourcing and using shared content across multiple documents in a library and among several writers at various locations can get challenging. Your solution could work for some situations that come to my mind, though. In my experience, you can format a cross-reference by using various character tags in the cross-reference definition, but any cross-reference otherwise uses the paragraph formatting of the destination, rather than the source. For most traditional uses of cross-referencing, this default works well. Whether you can flip that around by hacking at something, I don't know...but I usually avoid changing .ini files and the like, if at all possible.
