Inserting a cross reference only affects the target file if there is no
cross reference marker at the target location. If one already exists there,
the process of cross referencing will use the one that already exists rather
than creating a new one. This means you can use an "unlocked" (i.e. dummy)
version of a file as a target doc in that case.
Fixing the broken xrefs is not too difficult either, but would require
"write" access to both document, so you'd have to check them out "locked".

Subject: Re: Working on a joint FM doc
In my experience, inserting a cross-reference in one .fm file with a target
in another .fm file makes changes in both files, so when another writer was
working on the target file, I inserted a placeholder and added the
cross-reference later, when the file was unlocked.
