Hi Doug, I recently solved the exact problem for a client using FrameScript. The script does the following:
1) Backs up the book components. 2) Converts the specified cross-reference formats to plain text. 3) Restores the backed up components, thus restoring the cross-references. It all happens in seconds. If you are interested in a solution like this, please contact me offlist. Thanks.
