Not so easy. The problem being that there can be many references pointing to the same destination marker. And there's no way to know which external files (if any) might be pointing to a given marker.
In our pubs group, we use the now-discontinued FrameLink interface between FrameMaker and our Documentum docbase, and one of the services it provides is tracking of all inter-file references. It's a great benefit of the system even if it only identifies the referring file and not the specific x-refs within those files. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

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