Not thought about this before, but if you save as MIF and look for the:

<XRefSrcText `<xrefnum>: <xrefTag>: <xrefText>'>

tag, it contains the xref source text. You could use this for, say, global 
edits, but it would not be much help in just locating the xref in the source 
document.

A real one I've just created looks like this:

   <XRef
    <XRefName `Heading & Page'>
    <XRefSrcText `66923: Heading1: This is a heading'>
    <XRefSrcIsElem No>
    <XRefSrcFile `'>
    <XRefLastUpdate  1295783633 0>
    <Unique 999233>
   > # end of XRef
