Yes, I know. However, I prefer to customize this globally. If I decide (or the
publisher urges me) to take out the "on page X" references completely for
figures (or add them for chapters), I do not want to revisit any single
reference.
(that's why I do not much like your proposed solution of letting lyx2lyx
change global definitions to fixed ones, such as "\Tabref{tab:what} on page
\pageref{tab:what}")

Looks promising. I'm eager to see if this can handle different syntactic cases
as well (which is slightly more relevant in German than English -- "vgl. die
Abschnitte 3 bis 5" vs. "in den Abschnitten 3 bis 5" -- and even more relevant
in other languages)

I see. I guess this would do for my case. But anyway, this change will
probably affect many more documents. So if we come to decide that prettyref
will be dropped, we will have to add a big fat warning in the release notes.
