I'm glad to hear that.
FWIW, by asking earlier about possible "incremental improvements" for
cross-references, I was including within that possible implementation
improvements: new helper functions or interactive commands, standard
link types, documentation, etc.
I note, for example, that currently local links do export as LaTeX
cross-references, and that if you use cleverref, the results seem
pretty reasonable from my non-expert POV.
But it's not easy from a UX POV to create those cross-references,
particularly with a longer, more complex, document.
And in my coding experiments [1] awhile back, it wasn't that
straightforward to create a UI to make that easier, mostly because it
wasn't unambiguous how to consistently parse common targets (sections,
figures, tables, equations) [2].
