Can you send me a LyX file in a private message to see how you've done this in LyX? Maybe I can
simplify it a bit or create a LyX layout file so that people can use this solution without having to
write LaTeX code.
Many thanks in advance and regards

Okay, with the help of the kind folks on comp.text.tex, I have a solution.
In the generated LaTeX file containing the actual text of the statutes,
which is included in the LyX document, I modified my script to insert:
\begingroup
\renewcommand*{\thepara}{76-10-500}%
\refstepcounter{para}%
\label{code:76-10-500}%
\endgroup
Before the \paragraph containing each statute. I also had to add:
\newcounter{para} at the top of this file (or I could have put it in the LyX
document preamble).
With that done, I can use normal references. What I did was to use
formatted references and define:
\newrefformat{code}{\S\ref{#1} on page \pageref{#1}}
The result is very nice. The references get formatted like "76-10-500 on page 32" and clicking them in the PDF takes you directly
to the referenced statute, not just within a page or two of it.

I would like to post the result at the LyX Wiki so that others can use

Document-internal hyperlinks
I need to create some hyperlinks in the PDF version of my LyX document.
Basically, they're cross references, but none of the available
cross-reference formats do what I want.
One portion of my document (article class) has \paragraphs containing chunks
of legal code. The paragraph title is the code section and title, like:
\paragraph{53-5-703. Board -- Membership -- Compensation -- Terms --
Duties}
Then from other places in the text I reference the statues by code section
(e.g. 53-5-703) and sometimes by sub-paragraph (e.g. 53-5-703(3)(a)).
Ideally, I'd like all those references to be hyperlinks to the text of the
statute.
The portion of the document that contains all of the statutes is an included
LaTeX file which is programmatically generated, so I can easily add labels
to every section and paragraph. The problem is how to reference them and to
get the references formatted the way I'd like.
What I'd really like is for something like:
begin example
\label{code:53-5-703}\paragraph{...}...
...
As can be seen in \hyperlink{code:53-5-703}{53-5-703}, the composition of
the board is...
-end example-
where the first parameter to my hypothetical hyperlink function is the label
to be referenced and the second is the text of the reference.
I can almost make formatted references do what I want. If I define:
\newrefformat{code}{#1}
and insert Formatted Reference cross references, then I get "code:53-5-703"
-- but it's not a hyperlink and I need to remove the "code:". If I define:
\newrefformat{code}{\ref{#1}}
then I get a hyperlinked reference to the section containing the relevant
paragraph but (a) it's not to the paragraph itself, and the sections can be
several pages long, and (b) the text of the hyperlink is the section number
(e.g. 4.3), rather than the code section number.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
