[Framers] Captions

[Doug]

My shop's standard is to (sigh) put the captions below the objects.  My
workaround for this is to put a xref link above the object.  This works
well, except the object name/number in the xref link doesn't update
automatically if the caption changes.  (This is the reason for one of my
feature requests I've submitted.)

I was hoping I'd overlooked an easy solution to ensure my caption
names/numbers in the xref links would stay updated automagically.
