Suppose that your files are master.lyx, chap1.lyx, chap2.lyx,
and you want to insert a label from chap2.lyx to chap1.lyx.
There are three methods:
1. Open master.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and return to chap1.lyx.
Now, whenever you open the insert reference dialog in chap1.lyx, you will
get a list of all labels in all the files.
2. Open chap2.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and without closing the
dialog, return to chap1.lyx, and then insert the reference.
This doesn't work in LyX 1.1.6.
3. In LyX 1.1.6, type M-x reference-insert ref|++||++|<label>
where <label> is the required label.
