But it intrigues me. Why can some identifiers, for example of figures, be used for internal references and others not? In this case, I'd say it's because you're defining a delimited text style which can be used in multiple places. Your document could have five hundred \starttopica...\stoptopica blocks on different pages. A figure identifier, on the other hand, is meant to be unique.
