[Massimiliano Gubinelli <address@hidden>]

I've done a bit of research into the source code. It seems that it is not 
possible to make surface the list of references easily, it has been coded in 
the C++ part, so thisl requires some changes there.  There is maybe some way 
to just look into the current document for all the possible labels and their 
location, but in general the matter is more complex since the document could 
be part of a project, so one has to scan other documents too...

Anyway, as I said, a better management of references is useful in everyday 
use (look for duplicate labels, etc...) and maybe it is worth to spend some 
time improving that.  Someone interested? :)
