Indeed, something clean and automatic should be easy -
after all the color of the reference is different (contrastcolor)
when it is to be found on the same page or on a different page.

\at{page}[ref] could be smart enough...

What should the behavior be?
"on \at{page}[ref]" could return "on ",
but this would not be right.
"\at{on page}[ref]" could return "",
but otherwise "on page" would be a (colored) active link.
I might try
"\in{figure}[ref] \at{(page }{)}[ref]"
and hope/expect "(page xx)" to be replaced by ""
when referring to the current page.
Maybe Wolfgang is right in suggesting writing a custom macro.

I haven't looked at the code, though.
