Impressive.
I'm still scratching my head because I don't understand the magic
behind this trick (unless Hans and Wolfgang were reading my mind a
while ago when this was implemented), but curiously it does exactly
what I wanted to achieve.

The difference is that one then needs to say "See Figure 1.5 and 1.6"
somewhere in text instead of just "See Figure 1.5".
