I understand. At least for documents that are connected (via master-child) you
can do exactly this via Document > Outline. You need to select "Labels and
references" from the combo box in the outliner (instead of "Table of
Contents").

What are you missing exactly? I think nameref should work out of the box,
prettyref though only for English.

Of course it will (and many more) if you select the respective category.

My friend, I think we are not understanding each other. My outline
window is always open. What I try to mean is
I have this:
\subsubsection{System Control Space\label{sub:System-Control-Space}}
and I need to find all the
please go to \vref{sub:System-Control-Space}
in 10 or 12 documents encompassing my whole project. Let's say:
M3:page 7
M4:page 12
micros:page 122
so I can click and go there. The same stuff as the current xref window,
only backwards... besides the "go to link" button, a "see what refers to
this label" button that performs a search in the text top-down from the
master document and pinpoints all the references. (I guess putting all
referrers in the database may not be worthy, would probably require a
table for each label, whatever, this is just a suggestion).
Maybe this sheds some light.
I have no outline tool, and I'm writing while I'm doing my research.
I happen to work in parallel on many chapters of a book. Sometimes, when
something happens to a section, I realize there is a reference to that
section or to that content somewhere else. I need to find those
references and do some rephrasing or corrections or whatever.

OK, this is tricky, I have to mess with the Latex preamble to get this
working. Maybe the preferences window could be the job in a more
"Lyx-ful" way ?

No, if you re-read the example I've given, the outline window will help
me find the sections and paragraphs, not all the places in the document
where there is a reference to those. Let alone the BROKEN references
Regards
BTW, this is just a suggestion, the program is great, I'm just trying
to get some outlining functions out of it. Great stuff, congratulations
