May be you are actually suggesting that the LABELS[1] be generated
automagically for you in much the same way that footnote numbers are
generated.

In case of OpenDocumentFormat, one can have the references generated in
the "Above/Below" formats. This can be controlled purely by controlling
the exporting backend WITHOUT ADDING any new Orgmode syntax. I am not
much familiar with LaTeX. If I interpret what you are saying then you
are suggesting that you have some control over how a given exporter
generates label references.

HTML is really not print oriented (whatever that means). May be the
LABEL references \ref{LABEL} which looks to me to be LaTeX oriented
syntax be re-defined to more Org-link like.

Just my 2c,
Jambunathan K.

Footnotes: 
[1]  I would like to view LABELS as below:

LABEL := CATEGORY:SEQNO

CATEGORY := string
SEQNO := [0-9]+ (not sure whether a period could be included)

CATEGORY could be used for Table, Illustration, Figure etc etc.
