It is also possible to refer to a number of different preceding tags, of 
which the closest to the source paragraph is used, for example:
<$paratext[ChapterTitle,AppTitle]>


>If the Workshop ID and Title are two separate paragraphs, you can use a 
>cross-format which retrieves information from separate paragraphs: the one 
>you are pointing to (which will also store cross-ref marker) and one or 
>more *preceding* paragraphs with a specified format (using the 
><$paratext[paratag]> building block).  (This applies to all versions of FM)

>For example, assuming these paragraphs...
>
><pgftag=WorkshopID>ID 069
><pgftag=any>Workshop Title
>
>   ... your cross-reference format would be:
>
><$paratext[WorkshopID]> – <$paratext>
>
>(and you point to the *any* pgf tag when inserting the cross-reference).
