An easy one, maybe: given a destination cross-reference marker, is
there a way to locate the source(s) of the cross-reference?

Searching for marker text doesn't work, either using the actual
cross-reference text, or the id number in the destination marker.

Time consuming... but if you save the file as MIF, you can search for the marker ID, and identify which XRefSrcText items point to that number.
Obviously, this will only relate to cross-references in the current file.

The marker ID is displayed in FrameMaker's Special > Marker dialog box. Only search for the number indicated, as the paragraph style and text shown in the marker reflect the situation at the time when the cross-reference was created (FrameMaker does not update these when the source paragraph changes in terms of text/tag).
