When inserting new cross-references, copy/paste an existing 
cross-reference, and then double-click it; adjust the tag/pgf as needed.

Other improvements -- at the template level -- may include changing the tag 
names or creating compound cross-references (one cross-reference that 
retrieves two items instead of two separate cross-reference, eg one 
retrieving the chapter title and another one retrieving a figure/table)
