Actually, in theory you can do the same with any sort of numbered
reference. If you have a number of say, 'Elephants' that you want to
cross-reference:
1. Press Ctrl-F2
2. Click on the Variables tab
3. Select Number Range from the Type list
4. Enter Elephant in the Name field
5. Enter Elephant+1 in the Value field (if you want
automatically-numbered references. If not, enter a number)
6. Click on Insert.
To refer to it:
1. Press Ctrl-F2
2. Click on the References tab
3. Select Elephant from the Type list
4. Select your specific reference, etc

Different references are for different things. Some are for figure
numbers (i.e., "Figure 4"), some for citation numbers (i.e.,
"Reference 11"), some are for listing numbers, some for particular
examples on particular pages, etc. Because the references are
naturally categorized, it'd be nice if I could refer to the
categories when selecting the target of a cross reference I want to
insert. It'd be a lot easier, for example, to choose among the dozen
or so reference names in the "Figure" category than to try to ferret
them out from the scores of other references names I use for other
things. Is there a way to do this?
My brain's functioning at half power today, but lemme see if I've
understood correctly. Are you aware that if you add a caption to an
illustration, then you can go to the fields window (references tab),
select Illustration rather than Insert Reference, and have a list of
illustrations appear? If you want to use the terminology of 'Figure x'
instead, this will still work - rght-click on a figure, select
Caption, type Figure into the Category drop down list, add your
desired text.
Does that help at all?
