Can a cross-reference use a relative destination?

"How to use the <whatever>" is a chapter common to several books. It contains a cross-reference to a description of the <whatever>. The description is NOT in that chapter but rather in individual "Preface" chapters of each book. In each book, when I update the cross-reference to point to its local description, all of the other books then use that destination, too.

Is it possible to create the cross-reference so that its destination is the Preface chapter in each of the books that use the common "How-to" chapter? That is, a "relative" destination instead of the "absolute" destination that I create whenever I apply the cross-reference?

Unfortunately, we don't have FrameScript, so I'm hoping this is something that Frame can handle natively.

Thanks for all suggestions,
Gay
