First of all, I spent hours testing and rereading the documentation

my "<reference> on page <page>", until I waded through the latex code
outputted by LyX and noticed one uses \prettyref and one uses \vref.
Then I had to track down where the hell those commands came from, and
eventually read both the varioref and prettyref manuals.
Why that? Have you read the EmbeddedObjects manual? There the
different types of referencing are described. You don't have to take
care about the used commands in the background, LyX will load the
needed packages in the background. When these are not installed, LateX
will warn you about missing style files.
If you mean 3.4.1, it doesn't say anything about reference formats that
isn't already said in 6.1 of the user's guide. And the float section of
the Embedded Objects guide seems the wrong place to discuss
cross-references, anyway. I think what's wanted here is an indication
(a) that "formatted references" are \prettyref references, and (b) that
to get this to do anything, you may have to "self-define" reference
formats. At least a reference to the prettyref documentation would be
worthwhile here.
