I imported a document that has captions above all the tables. Our style guide
wants the captions below the tables. There are many references to the
tables/captions.  If I delete an old caption and create a new one below the
table, I lose the cross reference.  If I cut and paste an old caption, I lose
the cross reference.

It would be better if the caption were part of the table (and figure). The
caption should be set on a tab from within the edit table dialog.
That tab should specify whether the caption is above/below, which paragraph type
to use for the caption, whether the caption repeats if the table breaks across
pages, how much vertical space separates the table from the caption, etc.

This way, we could change caption position, location, repeats, without breaking
cross-references.  It would be tedious for a lot of tables, but a lot less
tedious than having to search the document for broken links.
