Issue 22372

I'm writing a scientific paper and would like to have a simple form
to perform the following task:

1. Define a new paragraph type called 'Reference' which looks like:
[<sequence number>] Text...
and does autonumbering pretty much like figures and tables are autonumbered,
renumbered, etc. etc.

2. Use it at the end of a document to include references to scientific papers
I cite in my paper

3. Be able to crossreference any of the 'Reference's in my text pretty much 
the same way as I'm able to crossreference figures and tables.

I have a workaround which doesn't look like bad, but it's too cumbersome
for some of my older colleagues, who thus prefer to stay with the legacy
word processor. This simple feature would convince a lot of people to
switch...
