I am not sure how your document is set up, but I have done something like this:
paragraph format: "anchor" with autonumber F:<n+> and color White. This is the paragraph that has the anchored frame. paragraph format: "caption" with autonumber F:Figure <n>. All of my cross-references point to the anchor paragraph. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc.

My workaround for this is to put a xref link above the object. This works well, except the object name/number in the xref link doesn't update automatically if the caption changes. (This is the reason for one of my feature requests I've submitted.) I was hoping I'd overlooked an easy solution to ensure my caption names/numbers in the xref links would stay updated automagically.
