I implemented this feature to finish my msci thesis a year ago. The trick
is to use "insert insets" in the parent document and at the very begining
of the "child documents" (chapters) insert a "parent inset".
The only way to insert a parent inset (AFAIK) is typing in the minibuffer:
parent-insert <name of the parent document>
This will bring you a way to use cross references and citations over
related subdocuments.
Note: I ignore whether recent kernel changes have improved/removed this
feature.
