Thanks Hraban, Taco. It is very helpful to get these hints. I will work
through them calmly over the next day or so. Not sure why the spaces
disappeared in the message (1 età came out as 1età etc.). Probably
because I copy-pasted from the text editor but all spacing is correct in
the editor I can assure you.
It's a very big document, hundreds of pages, so I even wondered if the
size of the document was a factor. But Taco's warning about possible
duplicates definitely becomes a possibility in a very large doc! Anyway,
I'll work through those hints and see where things are at after that.

Hi Julian,
while I can’t help you with the real issue, a few hints:
* Look into the .tuc file for the references. Do you find differences
between working and not-working examples?
* Do the examples work if you take them out of your big document or if
you change the order?
* There are “strange” space characters in your message, they disappear
in the quoted version below. That might cause troubles in typesetting
and referencing.
* You don’t need to set "marking" if it’s the same as the title.
* It might make sense to use \about instead of \in – \about[eta] would
render as “1a età“
* I would define a few macros, e.g. for the \in where both parameters
are the same and for stuff like \bullet\enspace – probably you just
left these out to simplify the example.

Hi list,
In an attempt to make a dictionary interactive in certain ways,
perhaps I am misusing the \in{}[] command here, but sometimes a
reference works and sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea why it
doesn't. Here is the situation:
Each dictionary entry is a section that has been defined as 'entry',
hence we have a \startentry[title=,marking=,reference=]...\stopentry
structure. Many entries can refer to other entries in the dictionary
(in most cases the headword is in Italian, but the definitions,
explanations are in English in all cases). in 90% of cases my
referencing is working, so here is an example of one that works when
\setupinteraction[state=start] is set:
\startentry[title={1aetà},marking={1aetà},reference={eta}]\\
1. youth. 2. first age. {\emnp.} \bullet\enspaceThe age between
adolescence and maturity and by extension all of the human
being’sfirst age (as opposed to old age).
Different cultures distinguish} age groupings in different ways. One
would be unlikely to find, in English, terms like first age, second
age etc. as recorded here. In fact there are probably only three
general groupings in English: young, middle-aged, elderly, and the
boundaries are rather flexible for these. Among the young category,
English might distinguish infants, children, adolescents young
adults. \rightarrow\enspace \in{giovani}[giovani]
\stopentry
In other words, there is an entry called 'giovani' and it begins
\startentry[title={giovani},marking={giovani},reference={giovani}].
That correctly gives me a bold green clickable link which takes me to
'giovani'. There is no number or page reference involved. I simply
want the link to take me to the entry concerned.
But it does not always work. I have another entry called 'ad nutum'
(Latin, not Italian in this case) with a reference to 'segretario'
many pages on. I am absolutely sure I have the reference for
segretario properly set up, both in its own entry and by calling it
as I did for 'giovani', namely this time as
\in{segretario}[segretario] but it is not recognized. This is not the
only non-working case. There are several.
Can anyone give me a hint as to what I might be doing wrong? I
realise that usually these references call on page numbers or section
numbers, but I don't want/need (or do I?) to use those. I simply the
reader to be able to click on a hyperlink which takes them to the
referenced entry.
