If I understand, refer is primarily meant to manage bibliographical references.
I need cross-references within a document, like to pictures, pages,
figures, equations, ...  --- that's why I mentioned 'lbl' and asked
whether there is a native port. Or more generally, what others use. I
can't believe it'd be possible to write a longer document without
automatically managing such things.
