I am still fighting with LyX/LaTeX cross-referencing facilities. While it's rather clear how to use it to refer to page numbers and equation numbers within a single file, I am in the dark on how:

1. cross-referencing to a separate file

2. having the section title appear in the cross-referencing document.

In fact, I am not even sure whether (1) or (2) are possible at all.

Here is what I am trying to do (assuming it's not clear enough from the above description):
Say I have chapter 1 and chapter 2 in chapter1.lyx and chapter2.lyx.

Chapter1.lyx has sections:

1. Introduction
2. First section
3. Third section

Somewhere in Chapter 2, I want to say: "as I showed in ***Chapter 1, Third section***, etc.etc." I I would like to have the text between *** as a cross-reference, so that if I move the Chapter1.lyx section around, change its title, etcetera, the reference would still work. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for the help.

Stefano
