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.
