I have the basics of cross-references; now I want to insert some external cross-references. Here is the basics of what I have working.



// destDoc = destination document. 
// xrefDoc = adding cross-reference to this doc.

// Get a pre-existing destination from the destination document. 
var dest = destDoc.paragraphDestinations.item('2916');

// Get the cross-reference format. 
var xrefFmt = xrefDoc.crossReferenceFormats.item('Full Paragraph & Page Number');

// Add the cross-reference source. 
var source = xrefDoc.crossReferenceSources.add(app.selection[0],xrefFmt);

// Add the cross-reference. 
var xref = xrefDoc.hyperlinks.add(source,dest);



This works; however, I am trying to find a way to add a cross-reference without first getting the ParagaphDestination from the destination document. I know the name of the destination document and I know the name of the destination, and I would like to build the external cross-reference without having to open the destination document. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance.
