The simplest way to do that is to use hyperlinks instead of 
cross-references.  First put a hypertext newlink marker in the
destination paragraph, with a unique name for the para.  Put a 
hypertext gotolink marker with the same name in the referencing 
paragraph at the text you want to use as the hotspot.  Apply 
a character format to the hotspot text, including the gotolink 
marker.  Then the hotspot text will act like a cross-reference
in your PDF or HTML output.
