Backtracking cross-references

[Ridder, Fred]

Not so easy. The problem being that there can be many 
references pointing to the same destination marker. And
there's no way to know which external files (if any) might 
be pointing to a given marker. 

In our pubs group, we use the now-discontinued FrameLink
interface between FrameMaker and our Documentum 
docbase, and one of the services it provides is tracking
of all inter-file references. It's a great benefit of the system
even if it only identifies the referring file and not the specific
x-refs within those files.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

An easy one, maybe: given a destination cross-reference marker, is there
a way to locate the source(s) of the cross-reference? 

Searching for marker text doesn't work, either using the actual
cross-reference text, or the id number in the destination marker.
